This project is inspired by the dedicated work of Local Solutions to End Poverty, a grassroots coalition of Duluthians concerned about effects of systemic poverty in our community. In 2018, Local Solutions to End Poverty began an effort to collect personal testimonies from fellow Duluthians who have or are currently experiencing barriers to basic needs in the northland. This effort was entitled So Much More, based interviews a fellow LSEP organizer, Tone, conducted last year. The resounding sentiment from those interviews was that there is so much more to us than appearances.
