📣1 in 3 people in the U.S. live in families participating in SNAP or Medicaid. The House bill takes away $1 trillion+ in food & health care while handing roughly the same $$ in tax cuts to families making over $500,000. We break down what it means for every state. 📊https://bit.ly/4mVaGif

Yesterday, I stood on the Capitol steps with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @booker.senate.gov to say loud and clear: An America without poverty is possible — and it’s worth fighting for. This week Congress could take away programs that keep millions of families fed, housed, and healthy.

FMLA turns 32 this week. It’s been used 500 million times, but the U.S. still lags behind as one of 6 countries in the world that does not have a guaranteed, comprehensive paid family leave program nationally. #PaidLeaveForAll

🎙️Excited to share my recent conversation with Anne Pasmanick on @powerstation.bsky.social. We talked about the origins of the @georgetownpoverty.bsky.social and our long-term vision of economic well-being. Anne was a wonderful host and I can't wait to come back! soundcloud.com/user-5830177...
