Keep Congress Accountable

Forty million Americans live in the State of Poverty, the largest state in the nation. We hope that the Poverty Scorecard gives you the tools you need to evaluate your representatives' performance on enacting laws to address the root causes and profound effects of poverty. Share a letter with your representatives to let them know their actions will be evaluated in the future. The following letter will send a message to your members of Congress, based on zip code.
