The MyPOP (My Print On Poverty) Campaign invites the public to share ideas about the barriers, perceptions and consequences of large economic gaps by visually exploring what some of the daunting issues are that separate the poor, the middle class and the wealthy within the US.
Simply put, we feel that visual tools can dramatically increase the level of sensitivity to the issues of poverty and help to chart opportunities for both individual and social change.
Defining the Need
People often need to see a path before they are able to get on a path; MyPOP works to accomplish this task. It represents a path out of poverty by way of visually articulating some of the individual and social challenges faced by the poor and some of the action steps necessary for moving out of the dysfunctional cycles.
It works to empower all people, young and old, by encouraging implementation of individual assessments and critical thinking.
Socidividuals
Who is a socidividual?
Individuals working for greater social missions.
MyPOP recognizes that positive change requires both individual and social actions. Socidividuals are dedicated, passionate and action-oriented individuals who are willing to donate their time and efforts to make the world a better place.These individuals who are working to be part of the greater good of helping the lives of others are deserving of their own name!
This social network provides a place for socidividuals to connect and grow our actions. Also includes, Jessey's Workbook, an up-close look at the story behind MyPOP.

About the Artist
Passionate and determined, Jessey Jansen strongly believes that the arts are a profession of insight, rigor and practicality which can be used as an agent for social change. She distills her professional and personal experience to offer MyPOP, an artistic collection with a purpose to help the lives of others.
Motivation -
After being raised in a household that was challenged with chronic material hardship, I experienced time and time again the constant crisis that frequented our family life.
MyPOP is both a reflection and a documentation of the stages and steps that were encountered on my journey of untying my living knot and improving my life. After taking these steps, I’ve made it my mission to help raise awareness to some of the complexities of poverty and to offer MyPOP as a brand that helps encourage positive individual and social change.
