We have only one enemy: inequality.
Dr John Falzon
Chief Executive Officer
St Vincent de Paul Society National Council
Rather than making us feel demoralised, this report should make us feel determined.
Our task is to transform these personal stories of injustice into a powerful, collective struggle for a new society; a society in which people are not blamed because economic structures lock them out or in some case lock them up; one in which people are not told that they would not be poor if only they chose to be a little more productive.
This is our beautiful struggle, we who are many; we who make up the massive movement for progressive social change. We have only one enemy. It is called inequality. And no matter how long it takes, we will win against this enemy. Humanity will win against humiliation.
Because our solidarity is stronger than our sadness. And even though our struggle is enormous, so too is our hope.
