Newsletter – The Poverty Initiative published six editions of a monthly newsletter describing anti-poverty programs at Union Theological Seminary -- Hurricane Katrina, Potter’s Field, Wal-Mart, Living Wages and Income Disparity, Prisons -- as well a highlighting major issues of economic injustice in the land. The Newsletter is sent to a mailing list of 500 people including Poverty Initiative donors, Union alumni, local congregations and Union Board of Trustees members. Many new students got involved in writing and editing the newsletter.

Resource Center – The Poverty Initiative opened an office and Resource Center at Union in August 2005. The Center is used to host meetings (with students, faculty and community members), do office work, create art and music, and maintain a library of books, newsletters, and videos for those interested. The Resource Center is staffed by seven field education interns and work-study students and others that volunteer. Students and others have started using the library to research poverty issues and theology. We are hoping to expand and organize the library in the coming year.
