The Statewide Poverty Action Network (Poverty Action) is an anti-poverty  advocacy organization located in Seattle, WA.

Through in-person community organizing and policy advocacy, Poverty  Action advances equitable policy solutions for low-income people in  Washington state. Their work starts and ends within Washington  communities, through semi-annual Listening Sessions, ensuring both  accountability to and guidance by those most directly impacted by the  effects of poverty. In our work, Poverty Action:

• Develop and advocate for innovative public policy solutions that  address the root causes of poverty, promote economic opportunity,  and address systemic barriers faced by communities of color;

• Register, educate, and mobilize voters from low-income communities  and communities of color;

• Engage community members in advocating for the issues that impact  their lives;

• Support grassroots leadership in low-income communities.
