Campaign Goals

The Campaign to Cut Poverty / Step Up Silicon Valley is a multi-year, multi-faceted approach to alleviating poverty in Santa Clara County. The goals of the Campaign to Cut Poverty are:

 

• To cut poverty in the Santa Clara County by 50 percent by the year 2020.
• To call upon the government to do more to serve those who are poor, and to improve public policies that strengthen and support families.
• To educate policymakers and the public about the struggles of those living in poverty and the good work of those who serve them in local communities.

• To engage those who are most impacted by government policies to be active participants in developing solutions to reducing poverty.
• To work with individuals and organizations across the country to address poverty in our country.

We call upon all in our county to address the issues that impact the most vulnerable and act now to reduce poverty in our neighborhoods.
