The Colour of Poverty
Based on an interview with Michael Kerr, Coordinator of the Colour of Poverty Campaign.
The Colour of Poverty Campaign is gaining momentum across the province and is expected to soon become a national campaign. Initiated by the Colour of Justice Network and funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Colour of Poverty Campaign was launched in September 2007 to help raise public awareness about the extent of poverty within the racialized communities of Ontario.
Our mission is to create innovative solutions to meet community challenges and build strong, equitable and sustainable communities through education, engagement and collaboration
