Half in Ten

Cutting Poverty in Half in Ten Years

The problem of poverty

More than 43.5 million Americans live below the official poverty line—which is now approximately $22,000 for a family of four—and nearly 15.5 million children are poor in this country. Inequality of wealth has reached record highs—it is greater than at any time since 1929.

From poverty to prosperity: An achievable goal

The Half in Ten campaign believes that a clear goal and tested strategies to achieve it are crucial for success. Accordingly, setting a 50 percent reduction goal is our first step toward eliminating poverty.

Campaign for Community Change

Building a Better America from the Grassroots

The Campaign for Community Change is the action center of the Center for Community Change.  Our mission is to build the power and capacity of low-income people, especially people of color, to change the policies and institutions that affect their lives.  It's time for a progressive movement that unites all of our issues and represents the authentic voices of people most affected by social and economic injustice.  The Campaign for Community Change is a vehicle to help build this movement.  Will you join us?

I Am a Worker

A project of Progress Ohio

Ohio workers who were left unemployed or underemployed due to things such as layoffs and outsourcing provided real value to their jobs. But this story is one that isn't being told enough.

Strengthen Social Security

Don't Cut it!

An American coalition, made up of over 215 national and state organizations representing over 50 million Americans.  We are here to make sure that real people's voices are heard.  We stand united behind seven commonsense principles.

Seven Principles:

1) Social Security did not cause the federal deficit; its benefits should not be cut to reduce the deficit.

2) Social Security should not be privatized in whole or in part.

3) Social Security should not be means-tested.

4) Congress should act in the coming few years to close Social Security’s funding gap by requiring those who are most able to afford it to pay somewhat more.

5) Social Security’s retirement age, already scheduled to increase from 65 to 67, should not be raised further.

6) Social Security’s benefits should not be reduced, including by changes to the COLA or the benefit formula.

7) Social Security’s benefits should be increased for those who are most disadvantaged.
