Mallori Thompson just posted a short video on YouTube about Poverty Action — an organization that lobbies for better programs for poor people in Washington State.  Mallori took this course about four years ago.  She went on to social work school and is clearly dedicated to teaching others about issues of poverty and homelessness.

Poverty Action asks poor people to speak out about their experiences.  Mallori’s video presents some of those voices, letting us see the humanity of people whom the mainstream often ignores.  Click HERE to see the video (six minutes).

I’m tremendously proud of Mallori and am proud to have been her teacher.
