It may not have made quite the splash as #NoTimeToDie but last week @povertytruthnet launched two new films:

the first is about what a #povertytruthcommission is https://t.co/GEtRbxnfui
The second is about what the network is: https://t.co/GEtRbxnfui

Enjoy

“Being on the Poverty Truth Commission has been enlightening, enjoyable & humbling. I've met wonderful people who have made me laugh, cry & examine who I am. I'm proud to have been part of this & hopefully to have made a difference now & into the future.” Civic Commissioner Vicky

Civic Commissioner Mandy adds her reflections to the Leeds Poverty Truth blog today following our closing event last Friday... https://t.co/2zFgXPSjAB #povertytruth

In 2016 we made a film with Community Commissioner Geoff to share some of his story. As part of the 3rd Commission we updated this film to highlight why poverty can be experienced as a web. Here is Geoff's story... https://t.co/0OdhlITyG2

Inspirational, practical, human and hopeful. Amazing to attend the virtual closing of @PTCLeeds
So important that the truth of poverty is what we seek to tackle - and that’s only possible when we take time to listen and work together.

Though I’d add... not including everyone wastes time and resources and creates significant harm

Leeds #PovertyTruth Commission has shared a series of powerful reflections from its commissioners: https://t.co/YgIHK1ICEA

[Rachael Loftus @RachaelLoftus]

“When you’re homeless, people speak to you like you’re worthless... when you get stuck thinking you’re not valued... it makes you think no one cares...if you live with negativity all the time... a little bit of kindness can make you feel different”

“Including everyone takes time and resources”

The closing event for the 3rd Leeds Poverty Truth Commission has just begun. The cumulation of 18 months work. It has been humbling to be part of the Commission. https://t.co/oIryvNrPWm
