creatorA word by Pas Forgione, Coordinator – Anti-Poverty Network SA
“Georgie is a passionate, empathetic, hardworking local advocate. Whether it is campaigning to protect our under-threat urban trees and built heritage, being a strong voice when it comes to affordable housing and student accommodation, and on a range of other environmental and social issues, Georgie is not afraid to stick-up for her community, for what is right, and put the time and effort in; exactly the kind of person we need in local government.”
Welcome to Anti-Poverty Network SA
Anti-Poverty Network SA is an alliance of people affected and concerned by poverty and unemployment, including job-seekers, low income workers, sole parents, age and disability pensioners, students, community and welfare workers, and others.
Our goals:
To advocate for the dignity, rights, and well-being of people on low incomes, particularly those receiving income support from Centrelink To create community networks that provide emotional and practical support to those affected by poverty, unemployment, and the mean-spirited policies targeting those receiving income support from Centrelink. To be a voice for and of people living in poverty, and to highlight the personal experiences and insights of people on low incomes, so that we can challenge myths about poverty, income support, and unemployment.
What we Are About:
We are committed to the ideal of an adequate, fair, non-judgmental welfare system. We aim to promote a safety net that properly protects low income and vulnerable people. That treats people with respect, instead of punishing and micro-managing them, and allows them to fully participate in economic, community, and public life.
We hope you can join us!
