A disturbing headline in a recent StarTribune, "State poverty hits 10.8%, incomes slide." Additionally, one in four Minnesotans were considered "near poor", with incomes below 200 percent of the poverty line. The federal poverty threshed is $11,344 for a single person, or $22,113 for a family of four.
There is a coalition of people that has formed Minnesota without Poverty. This group of adovactes is working to stem this disturbing tide. They currently have a "2020 Enough for All Campaign" which will be hosting events October 22nd and 23rd. To find out more visit their "Enough for All" Facebook site.
