"Poverty Kills", Group Warns

If you wouldn't look down on a person with a disability, you shouldn't look down at someone living in poverty...that message from the Common Front For Social Justice, who are preparing a flyer campaign to combat some of the common myths about the poor. 

Sister Aurea Cormier is an activist with the Common Front. She tells CHSJ News people living below the poverty line have increased health issues and live shorter lives.

Another common myth, says Cormier, is that people simply don't want to work--because in these economic times, that's simply not the reality.
