Guaranteed income programs are often more effective than existing government programs; they embody core American values, such as liberty and efficiency. This Urban Wire piece explores how banning guaranteed income programs undermines American values. urbn.is/3UypHdz
A lot of much smarter folks will have other things to say about the legacy of O.J. Simpson, but I will say this: His murder trial marks a pivotal moment in the decline of American broadcast news. It accelerated in our media environment an unapologetic centering of flash over…
"We’re battling a lot of forces that are not just gaining traction in the court of law — they are dominating in the court of public opinion. Our work to change policies and systems requires changing hearts and minds. That’s narrative change."
"We can build a better, brighter, more equitable nation for us all. That’s a future worth fighting for!"
"Our new vision at the Shriver Center is a nation free from racism and poverty. Together, we have the audacity to dream of an America that lives up to its highest ideals."
VP of Advocacy LaTanya Wilson Jackson speaks: "Poverty is woven into the very fabric of our nation, with the rules designed to keep people stuck in poverty. 9 million American children live in poverty. That’s 9 million children too many."
"Right now, families are being watched and investigated for the way their children show up. The cause is not usually abuse. It’s because their parents lack the resources to meet their children’s basic needs. Poverty doesn’t equal neglect."
“Powerful metaphors and frames, often repeated by politicians and the media, sink into our unconscious and create a concept of ‘common sense’ — even when the ideas behind them are the opposite of sensible.”

Although public convos, media coverage & protests about Black peoples’ disproportionate risks & discrimination in public spaces have significantly declined —the issue remains urgent. That’s why I’m launching the Being Black in Public Survey next Monday February 12th, 2024.
The most in-demand job skill? COMMUNICATION Whether you're a tech worker or a CEO, the soft skills you have as a communicator are still super important according to a new report.
Housing should be a human right. A new law in IL makes source of income discrimination in housing a civil rights violation — a good first step. Read our latest blog & learn about your rights as a renter: povertylaw.org/article/increa…
