Make a Poverty Pole

A Poverty Pole is visible sign of your personal commitment to a more just Australia. Create your own, or come together with friends, relatives, classmates or church group and create a group one.

A Poverty Pole can be large or small, colourful, painted, with decorations, or just plain. Sign it, write comments on it, use your imagination and create a Poverty Pole that represents your understanding of Indigenous poverty and your committment to end it.

You can display it to show that you have made a commitment to stand up and Make Indigenous Poverty History.

When you have finished the poverty pole perhaps you can hold a special signing ceremony. Or you could sign it as part of a workshop or forum.

When it is signed display it in a prominent place to show the whole world that you support the campaign to Make Indigenous Poverty History.
