United Way of Central Indiana and Glick Philanthropies are proud to host Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “Evicted,” for an imperative community conversation this spring in Indianapolis.

Join us on April 27 at the Indiana State Museum's Dean and Barbara White Auditorium to hear from Desmond as he talks about his latest book, "Poverty, by America," and explores how such persistent poverty can exist in a land of plenty.

Through his writing, Desmond outlines: "In order to understand the causes of poverty, we must hold a mirror up to ourselves. Are we — we the secure, the insured, the housed, the college educated, the lucky — somehow responsible for all this suffering?”

General admission and VIP tickets are now available. VIP tickets include preferred seating and a copy of Desmond's book, to be signed at a private reception with the author after the event.

United Way looks forward to presenting this event alongside generous sponsors Glick Philanthropies, Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Partnership, The Mind Trust and other community partners.

Space is limited, so secure your spot today.
