The Poor People’s United Fund is a Boston-based organization that works to eliminate the causes of suffering due to poverty. PPUF advocates and educates in order to change the policies and perceptions that lead to that suffering. Please read our PPUF Fall 2017 Newsletter and the PPUF Voices Blog.
A thought for the day
“Face it. We have been mugged big time by our false 
prophets who are busy creating our realities and redefining our lives. But there are windows of opportunity. I can touch it. I can feel it. I can taste it. And I couldn’t get up in the morning if I didn’t believe it. I also believe we care, that we do give a damn. And I have this enormous faith in you and me that somehow we will make it through the night together. We need to once again have enough faith in ourselves to believe that we can change things– together.” (Kip Tiernan)
