Campaign to Reduce Poverty in America by Half

A few weeks ago Catholic Charities announced a campaign to reduce poverty in America in half by the year 2020.  My apologies if this has already been discussed here, but I honestly haven't seen much about this anywhere in the media.  The announcement starts:

Catholic Charities USA today announced a new multi-year initiative to cut poverty in half by 2020, urging Congress and the Administration to give a much higher priority to the needs of the poor in budget and policy decisions on issues such as health care, housing, nutrition, and economic security.

“Poverty is a moral and social wound on the soul of our country and threatens the health and economic well-being of both families and our nation,” Rev. Larry Snyder, president of Catholic Charities USA, said at a briefing this morning on Capitol Hill. “We must marshal the strength and the collective will of our nation to take on this tragedy that affects 37 million people who are living in poverty in one of the wealthiest nations in the world.”

“The Campaign to Reduce Poverty in America is about who we are as a nation,” Father Snyder said. “We must no longer ignore the injustice of poverty and the extreme inequality in America and instead must seize this opportunity to advocate for changes that promote human dignity and the common good.”

Has anyone taken a look at their program?  Their website contains links to their report, a study guide to the report, poverty statistics, etc.  It might be a good resource for teaching.
