Show Me the Receipts

The National Women's Law Center (NWLC) in the U.S. will partner with individuals doing their best to make ends meet to collate and present the receipts and paystubs they receive over the course of a year to dispel the myth that poverty is an individual problem. NWLC will provide a stipend and tools for storytellers to document how they navigate poverty and show how systemic failings, such as limited benefits for the disabled and unaffordable interest repayments, underlie poverty. These documents will be compiled along with interviews, other texts, and art and transformed into an online visual art display as well as other products.
