Beginning at 11:30, a forum with educational materials, displays and interesting simulation games will encourage the public to enlighten themselves about the deep injustice that underlies poverty. A press conference, scheduled for 12:30, will give leaders from our community such as Irv Fletcher, President of the AFL-CIO, Commissioner Gretchen Kafoury, and Elizabeth Furst, head of the Oregon Peace Insti tute, an opportunity to define some of tfie injustices of our society and how to strengthen efforts by and for the poor. For a lot of people in our community, poverty is merely an ugly survival struggle. The poverty they experience means they often do not have enough to eat, they often live in substandard housing, or are homeless, they often cannot find more than minimum wage jobs which don't support their families and some cannot work at all Most especially, poverty affects children, making their futures dim We have ceased to feel with our hearts, and as a result, we have been unsuccessful in thinking with our heads. The Greeks had a saying: There will be no justice in Athens until the uninjured parties are as indignant as the injuried parties.
