CARE Action Network (CAN)
|
We can't overcome poverty alone. It takes many of us working together. It takes a worldwide movement of community groups, organizations like CARE, national governments — and people like you. The CARE Action Network, or CAN, is a group of CARE supporters working to educate our nation's leaders about issues of global poverty. Together, we ask our elected officials to adopt policies that address the underlying causes of poverty, such as gender inequality and poor governance. CAN helps you use your voice to shape U.S. policies that affect global poverty. Join thousands of other supporters around the country in speaking out on behalf of women, children and poor families around the world. |
