The Importance of Commitment in Ending Poverty

Poverty abolitionism is a conviction that shares with other abolitionist movements, the belief that poverty is an abomination. And I think that when we take this on as an identity, it becomes personal and political. It means shopping differently, investing differently, living differently, flexing our influence. We all have to start really taking some ownership over this in our own lives. The cost of solving poverty, of ending poverty, of abolishing poverty means that we all have to bear some cost for doing that.
