Moving for opportunity
We’re looking at new research into what happens when people move from impoverished areas for better opportunities. And we want to know from you: When have you moved for the sake of opportunity? How did it affect your life?
Sue Popkin wrote the new book, “Moving to Opportunity: The Story of an American Experiment to Fight Ghetto Poverty.” She joins us along with Lydia Grayson, who took advantage of the “Moving to Opportunity” program to get out of New York City in an effort to find a safer environment for her children.
The story you just read is available for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
Make a gift today, and you’ll get us one step closer to our goal of raising $25,000 by June 14. We need your help now more than ever!
