Primary tabs

  • Devel

The city of Rochester, New York Rochester is the 11th worst city in the country in terms of child poverty and fact, Rochester’s Latino child poverty rate is the sixth highest in the nation. As is the case in many cities, poor families in Rochester have been adversely affected by increasing lay-offs and county budget cuts in the area of social services.

The Rochester Chapter of the Social Welfare Action Alliance in coalition with poor people, advocates, and human service workers, have joined together to operationalize a Reality Tour. This 3-hour event takes riders on a tour of blighted areas, a the abandoned subway, the welfare department on St. Paul, House of Mercy, St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center/Health Center, and a vacant lot next to the House of Mercy. The tour has also made other symbolic “tour stops” which emphasize where the community’s spending priorities seem to be (soccer stadiums, prison expansion, etc.).


Date: Saturday, April 10, 2010

Time: Board the bus at 11:45 a.m. Tour ends approximately 3:00 p.m.

Place: Bus will depart from the parking lot of 845 St. Paul St. (Next to Steve’s Empire Collision)
