ATD Fourth World Activists
Activists1 are at the heart of all we do. They are people who have themselves endured poverty, and who choose to share the knowledge and experience gleaned from their resistance with others. ATD Fourth World activists seek out and support those even more marginalized than themselves, working to make sure everyone has their place.
In the video below Thomas Mayes, ATD activists and a member of ATD Fourth World’s International Board of Directors talks about why he is involved in ATD and what motivates him.
