AKRON: A National Day of Prayer to End Poverty and Income Inequality service has been scheduled for 1 p.m. today at First Apostolic Faith Church, 790 Easter Ave., Akron.
The local event is part of a national push by the 43-member Congressional Black Caucus to call communities together to pray simultaneously and focus attention on the issues of income inequality and poverty.

U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Warrensville Heights, and Akron-area faith leaders are hosting the service.

Other members of the Congressional Black Caucus will host public prayer gatherings in their districts. Many will join with faith leaders from throughout the nation on the
U.S. Capitol Hill East Lawn.
