Join us for an exciting and inspiring afternoon!! American anti-poverty activist and author Linda Tirado, “the woman who accidentally explained poverty to a nation”, will be speaking about the myths and victim-blaming that surround poverty in rich countries like Australia and the United States.

Linda has appeared on ABC's Q&A program, written for Huffington Post, and visited numerous countries to inspire poor people to speak out and challenge how they are treated, and challenge others to rethink their views.

She comes here at a time when the unemployed, sole parents, pensioners, and others face severe attacks on their rights and incomes, including grossly inadequate Centrelink payments, Income Management, Work For The Dole, and punitive Job Network obligations.

Speaking alongside Linda will be local anti-poverty and welfare-rights activists, and there will also be opportunities to get involved in different campaigns and projects, and a delicious community dinner afterwards.
