The Reason
1 Poverty rates over 40 years and no change
![Page 11: Building Blocks for Civic Leadership](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052915/587b3a351a28ab9c0e8b4833/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Reason
2 Charity fosters dependence on the ruling class
False charity constrains the fearful and
subdued…to extend their trembling hands. True
generosity lies in striving so that these
hands….extend less in supplication…and more
become human hands which work, and
working transform the world. – Paulo Freire

The Reason
3 Noble intentions are not always effective outcomes
Next to money and
guns, the third largest
North American
export is the U.S.
idealist - Ivan Illich

“Charity is false, futile, and poisonous
when offered as a substitute for justice.”
–Henry George

Change means movement.
Movement means friction.
Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict. – Saul Alinsky
