Anti-Poverty Rally In King Square

We should be embarrassed by the number of people living in poverty in our area--that from activists at a rally for the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. 

Reverend Don Uhryniw tells CHSJ News as a minister in the South End the rally is standing up for the oppressed, because poverty effects mainly women and children and results in a decreased life span and fewer education opportunities.

Uhryniw says when you have children going without enough to eat the government has a moral obligation to provide more social assistance.
