Dear ___________,
...

I've tried to express to you that groups dealing with low income and poverty are fine but what support and strength do their groups have when it comes to improving or making changes for the better?

I'm writing from the aspect of the Saskatoon Anti Poverty Coalition where we have about 20 organizations as well as individuals all with the common aim of reducing poverty in Saskatoon (and the the province). We are looking for even more people and groups to join us to make us stronger in both numbers and our voice against poverty.

Less poverty would make a better society over all. It is my opinion that the best way to do this is 'en masse' – by getting together as many groups and individuals who deal with or live with low income / poverty and who share the common aim to fight poverty. Poverty affects everyone even if some don't want to admit it - taxes, crime, health costs, life, etc.

By joining together or closely networking I feel we have a stronger body and voice to fight this ever present and growing problem.

Poverty Awareness Week is approaching and I'd like to see a strong cross section representation from within the city joining us to show those who need to be shown that poverty affects all and is alive and not dead as some want us to think.

I'm sending a recently put together hand out explaining Saskatoon Anti Poverty Coalition.

I hope you see fit to join our coalition - we have approximately 20 organizations plus many individuals who share / deal with or live poverty and have banded together to fight poverty.

Another option is to closely network with us at the coalition. The more people / groups who join together the stronger we are - the more support - the stronger our voice in the fight against this society and family crippling threat.

Please feel free to contact me and use me as your contact with us.
