John Edwards Is Asking America To Make Tackling Poverty A Priority

From Bob Moser's Piece in The Nation:

"In a country of our wealth, to have 37 million people living in poverty? It's a huge moral issue," he says. "There's a hunger in this country for a sense of national community, that we're not in this thing by ourselves. There's been a long period of selfish thinking. I think there's a great opportunity for us to be about a big, moral cause that's bigger than people's own self-interest."

John Edwards is now the director of the Center of Poverty, Work, and Opportunity at UNC, Chaple Hill's law school. They have a website that details their mission.
