26 June 2018 | The Trump Administration inherited an economy with the highest rate of income inequality in the Western world: 40 million people (one third of them children) live in poverty and one person in eight depends on food stamps. Following the presentation to the Human Rights Council on June 21 of a damning report on the United States by the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Professor Philip Alston, the panel discusses the human rights implications of these developments, especially in terms of gender and racial disparities and the functioning of American democracy.

- Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair, Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival and Co-Director, Kairos Centre for Religions, Rights and Social Justice
