Quakers urged to speak out

Church Action on Poverty urges people to speak out against prejudice

by Symon Hill 3rd February 2012

Quakers have been urged to speak out against prejudices that lead to poor people being blamed for their own poverty.  Quaker Social Action (QSA) has backed a call by Church Action on Poverty (CAP) to take a stand against stereotypes that ignore the ‘real barriers’ faced by benefit recipients, homeless people and low-paid workers.
