Welcome to PRIDEaction.org! PRIDE is a commonsense, non-partisan initiative to more effectively address poverty in America.
About PRIDEaction.org
America has been engaged in a "War on Poverty" for over a half-century. When President Lyndon Johnson declared this war, approximately 15% of Americans were living below the poverty line. Fifty years and twenty-two trillion dollars later, approximately 15% of Americans continue to live in poverty. Perhaps the saddest aspect of this failure is that more American children than ever are among this number.
Well-intentioned federal policies that have been cobbled together one at a time over the last half-century, driven by political considerations and with no master plan, are clearly not doing the job. PRIDE stands for Poverty Relief with Independence, Dignity, and Empowerment, and offers Americans a path out of poverty instead of a life of dehumanizing continued dependence on government power brokers.
Do you want the most economically vulnerable Americans to have PRIDE?
