i am Spartacus. An estimated nine million people die each year from poverty. This is at once a staggering and humiliating figure to digest. This figure is all the more troublesome when one considers each year North Americans alone spend more than 150 billion dollars on fast food.
The choice we are making is about our humanity. We were once challenged to imagine a more compassionate and equitable world, to be the change we want to see. These challenges are as important today as they were when they were originally authored. i am spartacus is a call to arms. It is a plea for readers to engage the worldwide struggle for a community of humanity regardless of race, socio-economic development or geopolitical privilege.
Great leaps are made by the individuals who, together, form the foundation of the community. As Jeffrey Sachs wrote in his preface to The End of Poverty:
When the end of poverty arrives, as it can and should in our own generation, it will be citizens in a million communities in rich and poor countries alike, rather than a handful of political leaders, who will have turned the tide. The fight for the end of poverty is a fight that all of us must join in our own way.
the {warehouse} magazine has chosen to act through two principal routes: {i} through exercising its voice to broaden poverty action and awareness within the urban community; and {ii} through establishing a partnership and development program with Plan International Canada.
We are looking for friends to help us raise our voice in support of this movement for equality. The question is, are you in? {w}

the {warehouse} magazine would encourage its community of readers to share commentary about articles read in this magazine - or elsewhere - and observations about the {insert adjectives here} world we live in.
This is YOUR platform. So be sure to read out {LOUD}.
