The Communities Uniting to Eliminate Poverty Organization’s (CUEPO) goal is to ensure citizens and non- citizens are receiving all the resources available to afford the cost of living and save money. The organization will establish a network of supporters to sustain financial resources offered by communities. The staff will focus on implementing the following principles to end poverty: Advocating, Teaming and Campaigning to Eliminate Poverty.
We are a newly established 501(c)3 non-profit organization and our mission is to eliminate poverty. During farmers market events we will be conducting light lobbying activities such as, distributing information about policy and advocacy related to eliminating poverty, and collect letters of support. We will also be recruiting members to participate in board of director meetings to support with policymaking and develop professional development opportunities.
My name is Jessica Esver and I founded Oregon's Communities Uniting to Eliminate Poverty Organization (CUEPO) on October 31, 2024. CUEPO also has a Chapter in California. I am excited both Oregon and California Chapters will be collaborating together to support statewide and nationally on project initiatives designed to eliminate poverty. I look forward to participating in farmers markets to gain support by distributing informational sessions, recruit members to join CUEPO, and request for donations and letters of support.
