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 Spring 2017 Newsletter and the PPUF Voices Blog.
A thought for the day
“The pilgrimage of faith and justice must always be made in the company of others. What then, is our response when one of us has been exiled? Do we merely cluck our collective tongues and say, “too bad,” or do we make ourselves heard?” (Kip Tiernan)
