The countdown continues. 21 days
Poverty Now was featured under New Trends on Lost At E Minor - and online art magazine http://www.lostateminor.com/2012/05/26/poverty-now-jason-houge-explores-poverty-in-the-us/.
Jeffery Colin, writing for the Huffington Post, recently criticized the media and policial disinterest for the rapidly growing U.S. Poverty, one of the largest problems ever faced by the U.S. especially during an election year.

I think this is especially evident when reviewing the lack of support for Poverty Now to date. More people seem to think it's a better idea to turn the eyes away and hope this ugly blemish disappears instead of being proactive about it and taking action to face this new reality. Perhaps because people are so worried about their own security, they're not looking for a way to help others out.
