The Poverty Scholars Program has uploaded its training materials from its Leadership program, and I highly recommend those who are trying to do anti-poverty organizing in their own communities download them stat.

Many of the materials are in English and Spanish, and include: statistics on the current economic crisis, the causes of the current rates of poverty and inequality, and lessons on histories of anti-poverty organizing here in the US on which to build.  There are lots of graphs and images and accompanying explanations.

This is a terrific resource for our anti-poverty activism.  Many thanks to the Program for making these materials available.
