Parents Organizing for Welfare and Economic Rights (POWER) is an organization of low-income parents and allies advocating for a solid social safety net. POWER provides information to and advocates for low-income families navigating social programs. Unlike boot-strap self-improvement programs targeting poor people, they consider poverty a systemic problem and not an individual failing. They work to build a better world for their children, fight poverty, and honor caregiving, which is still typically unpaid and primarily done by women.
