Poverty is a tricky goal to start with because it can’ really be solved unless all the other goals are solved. Keep that in mind when working on this.


This is solving poverty:

This is services being crappy:


Economic Mobility:


This is tik tok is on non-profits:



SOURCE OUTLETS:


RESOURCES:



1.1 By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day


(USA) Potential Solution, Government-Level:

Universal Basic Income/Guaranteed Income


1.2 By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions.


(USA) Potential Solutions:

Organization-Level: Mutual Aid

Government-Level: Remove means testing and income requirements on social services


1.3 Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable.


Social Protection Floors include:

1. access to essential health care, including maternity care;

2. basic income security for children, providing access to nutrition, education, care and any other necessary goods and services;

3. basic income security for persons in active age who are unable to earn sufficient income, in particular in cases of sickness, unemployment, maternity and disability;

4. basic income security for older persons.

Concepts:

-Social Security and other government systems make decisions based on outdated information

-Social safety nets are inaccessible and require impassable hurdles on purpose

-Social safety nets can at times be worse than a domestic violence situation

-The GOP is planning on cutting social security and medicare in 2023


Solutions, Government-Level:

-Use data to determine how many people should be on social security, then seek to get them benefits. Update data at minimum on a yearly basis.

-No income restrictions to use services. (The wealthy pay for it with their taxes.)


Paradigm: social services are a safety net and an ally, not an industrial complex that must be fought with uncertain levels of support regarding survival.


People who need help are not burdens. To be human is to be a burden.


People who need help are valuable. They often have advantages that others can not achieve or have: wisdom, problem identification & solving, a strong sense of justice, a strong understanding of reality, creativity, resilience to crises, and deeper empathy.



1.4

By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property, inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance


1.5

By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters

Government-level:

Decriminalize homelessness and living in a vehicle.


1.a

Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources, including through enhanced development cooperation, in order to provide adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, to implement programmes and policies to end poverty in all its dimensions


1.b

Create sound policy frameworks at the national, regional and international levels, based on pro-poor and gender-sensitive development strategies, to support accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions


Government-level: (Oligarchy)

Policy: limit the maximum a person can have

Policy: limit the ratio of profit a person can make in comparison to their employees
