New Resource: Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity

An initiative of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Eos Foundation, and other major national foundations, Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity is a Web space that aims to build momentum for national action on poverty in 2009.

In order to stimulate a nationwide dialogue on poverty and opportunity, Spotlightonpoverty.org offers information on the presidential candidates’ positions, current press coverage, debate, and commentary including a recent video from Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, chair of the U.S. Conference of Mayors Taskforce on Poverty, Work and Opportunity. Recent reports, analyses, and data on poverty and opportunity are profiled on the site and readily available to policymakers, thought leaders, and the public. The site also has links to the latest research, data, and organizations working on poverty and opportunity.
