This video gives us the reality of how life is and how poverty is occurring around the world. We get an inside look of how situations evolve to become how they are now. We are also told, how this situation can be resolved and fixed. Being separated creates poverty, caring about ones self creates poverty. The solution, being equal, loving one another and ensuring that one loves for other what he loves for himself. Equality leads to a better society, but the actions that only are meant for me create walls that push the image of equality further away. But, with love and togetherness in society, the equality that the world is longing for, will actually come true.

Where Do We Go From Here?

More and more Americans are waking up to the idea that rising income inequality and widespread economic insecurity are unacceptable. At the same time, grassroots momentum to tackle poverty is growing. Fast food workers and other low-wage workers are organizing across the country for higher wages and better working conditions. And, in the past year alone, many cities and states have passed new policies such as paid sick days that would benefit working families.

In short - we have a historic opportunity to tackle poverty and inequality. On this final episode of our six-week miniseries, we will discuss how we can build a broader, national anti-poverty movement. We will also highlight promising new organizing happening right now.

For our discussion, we're joined by:

Ted Strickland, former Governor of Ohio

Charlene A. Carruthers, National Director of Black Youth Project 100

Gerardo Reyes Chávez, activist with the Coalition for Immokalee Workers

Ai-jen Poo, Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) and Co-director of the Caring Across Generations campaign

Darius Brown, Council Member representing the Third District of Wilmington, Delaware

What's the Deal with Marriage?

We often hear the refrain that poor people should just get married in order to escape poverty. However, the facts don't support this theory. Besides, the notion of family has changed over the years. Within just a few years, families have become more ethnically and racially diverse, and same sex marriage is legal in 37 states and the District of Columbia. Despite these realities, our policies have failed to keep pace.

For instance, women of color, immigrants, and low-income women have always had high levels of labor force participation, but for decades, they have been shut out of necessities such as paid family leave and sick days that middle class families take for granted.

On this Valentine's Day episode of TalkPoverty Radio, we're taking a broader look at American families and at the public policies that we need to help families and individuals exit poverty. To discuss, we're joined by:

Melissa Boteach, of the Center for American Progress;

Congresswoman Gwen Moore;

Loren Harris of the Kellogg Foundation;

Cecile Richards, President of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America; and

Hannah Hussey of the Center for American Progress along with Tony of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network of California.

How Your Zip Code Impacts Your Life Chances

For millions of Americans, opportunities for a better future are limited simply because of the zip code where they grew up or now live. Decades of neglect and failed public policies have contributed to pockets of concentrated poverty across the country. Living in such high-poverty communities increases the likelihood that families will face inferior housing, poor health outcomes, failing schools, inadequate public infrastructure, and few employment opportunities. In fact, your zip code plays a greater role in your life expectancy than your genetics.

This week on TalkPoverty Radio, hosts Rebecca Vallas and Tracey Ross will be discussing how the neighborhood you grow up in impacts your life chances. Be sure to share your thoughts and observations by joining the conversation using the hashtag # talkpoverty.

Guests for this week's show include:

Patrick Sharkey, NYU Professor and author of the book Stuck in Place

Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13)

Ruth Ann Norton, President and CEO of the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative

Bernice Aquino, a resident of Baltimore whose home was renovated by the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative

Lawrence Carter-Long, Disability rights advocate and Public Affairs Specialist at National Council on Disability

Alan Pyke, Deputy Economics Editor at ThinkProgress

How We Punish People for Being Poor

It's expensive to be poor. Low-income individuals are much more likely to be hit by high bank fees and to need to turn to predatory payday loans in the event of an emergency expense such as a broken water heater or unexpected medical bill. Additionally, a growing number of states and cities have policies that criminalize homelessness and poverty. This week on TalkPoverty Radio, hosts Rebecca Vallas and Tracey Ross will be discussing these and other ways America punishes people for being poor. Be sure to let us know your thoughts and observations, by joining the conversation using the hashtag # talkpoverty.

Guests for this week's show include:

Barbara Ehrenreich, author of the bestselling book Nickel and Dimed

Michael Corkery, a reporter with the New York Times

Thomas Harvey, Executive Director of Arch City Defenders

Alan Pyke, Deputy Economics Editor at ThinkProgress

The Trouble with Inequality

From the Occupy Wall Street movements, to Thomas Piketty's Capital, to President Obama's most recent State of the Union address, inequality has had a prominent place in the public conversation. And rightly so. Levels of income inequality in the United States are at alarmingly high rates, threatening the country's values of equal opportunity and social mobility. However, we are at a moment of incredible promise and excitement for workers' movements. Many state and municipal governments are passing legislation that will make it easier for families to escape poverty and reduce the gap between the rich and poor.

Join us on our radio show this week when we will have activists, organizers, and other committed experts on income inequality discuss this very important topic. Be sure to give your questions and comments, using the hashtag # talkpoverty.

Guests for this week's show include:

Larry Mishel, President of the Economic Policy Institute

Sarita Gupta, Executive Director of Jobs With Justice and Co-Director of Caring Across Generations

Mark Ortiz, activist for workers' rights and Writing Fellow at Center for Community Change

Josh Eidelson, reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek, where he covers politics, policy, and labor

Sandra Fluke, Social Justice Attorney

Although Instagram can serve as an announcement for what's for dinner, it has been influential in allowing people across continents a glimpse into one another's lives.

An important aspect of Instagram is its ability to make those whom we will never meet relatable to us. This aspect can be applied to A-list celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman, as well as to the poor villagers in North Africa. Instagram can humanize the poor and mobilize the able.
