use an anecdote that is heart gripping and powerful of human experience in poverty...people need to feel why this is an important issue...both experience and data need to be primacy; be interdisciplinary too

Start with a question like "who here considers them self poor?" Then follow up with the "definition" of poverty like maybe "Did you know that a salary 10K makes you wherever near the poverty line?" Something like that. Just try to engage the audience first.

Why wouldn't it be? It's just a question.

Or you could ask something like what amount do you feel you need to make before you're considered poor?
