Sample Value Proposition (CARE)
 We can't overcome poverty alone. It takes many of us working together.
It takes a worldwide movement of community groups, organizations like
CARE, national governments—and people like you.
 The CARE Action Network, or CAN, is a group of CARE supporters
working to educate our nation's leaders about issues of global poverty.
 Together, we ask our elected officials to adopt policies that address the
underlying causes of poverty, such as gender inequality and poor
governance.
 CAN helps you use your voice to shape U.S. policies that affect global
poverty.
