The poor people’s economic human rights organizing model answers the question “how do we end poverty?” The model provides a framework for how to effectively organize the poor to build the power required to change the political conditions behind poverty’s continuation. The model’s central strategy is to develop leaders from the ranks of the poor around human rights values of respect, dignity and sacred life.
