Matthew 25 eradicating systemic poverty workshop on measuring impact
2023-06-29 15:00 - 16:30
We know the shifts we need to make personally, corporately and systematically in order to end poverty. How do we know if our work to end poverty does in fact contribute towards the systemic and structural changes needed to truly do so? What are the critical elements of measuring our impact that help us to look at big picture questions? Andrew Kang Bartlett of the Presbyterian Hunger Program will introduce “Whole Measures,” a tool that can be used to qualitatively assess efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty in communities. Respondents will include staff from Self-Development of People and World Mission.

Matthew 25 eradicating systemic poverty workshop on community organizing and advocacy
2023-08-28 11:00 - 12:00
This online workshop will cover concepts of community organizing, movement building, and public policy/corporate policy advocacy as vital models for tackling root causes of poverty. We will have a speaker from a local Congregation Based Community Organization (CBCO) on community organizing, someone from the Office of Public Witness to address policy advocacy, and we hope someone from Poor People’s Campaign or another strong movement to talk about how to build people’s power and movements. We hope to also have someone from a presbytery that’s used elements of these models “in real life”/”on the gound” to participate.
