Adequate access to food is economic justice. But too many people with low incomes are forced to stretch their SNAP benefits. In 2020, the SNAP benefit per person per meal was only $1.39, not enough to pay for a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread.

New paper just accepted at @ReadDemography with @ReginaSBaker & @ryanmfinnigan: “The Role of Single Motherhood in America’s High Child Poverty.” The role is small or modest. The US would have HIGH child poverty even if there was ZERO single motherhood. bradydave.wordpress.com/wp-content/upl…

The war on poverty went as far as it could, but didn’t go far enough. Transformative policies – like guaranteed income – implemented would lift our communities out of poverty for good. Read more in a recent op-ed with @IndivarD for @theprogressive progressive.org/op-eds/the-war…
It is deeply troubling that motherhood often hurts a woman’s ability to be economically resilient. It is impossible to reach our goals of economic mobility and equitable outcomes for everyone without ensuring that women do not face an economic toll when they become mothers.

The latest @LastWeekTonight cites @NCLC4consumers & @CLASP_DC’s report on student debt and the racial wealth gap! Proud to have worked on it even if just a little. With some harrowing graphic design from @nicmartinezva if I remember…
In an effort to advance the bipartisan tax bill that Sen. Crapo has blocked, Sen. Wyden offered to drop the part of the bill’s #ChildTaxCredit proposal Crapo opposes. Crapo refused the offer. If Sen Rs don’t change course, this will be a choice to leave children in poverty.

It’s time to reevaluate the TFP to increase #SNAP benefits as a critical step forward in the journey toward equity and anti-racism.
All these factors disproportionately affect people of color because of discrimination, low wages, and distinct cultural foods that are not considered in nutrional standards.
SNAP benefit levels are determined by the grossly outdated and inadequate Thrifty Food Plan (#TFP). That 46-year old plan doesn’t reflect the current economy, cost of living, cost of food, the time it takes to cook it, diverse dietary needs, adequate transportation, etc.
Adequate access to food is economic justice. But too many people with low incomes are forced to stretch their SNAP benefits. In 2020, the SNAP benefit per person per meal was only $1.39, not enough to pay for a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread.
A recent media report includes new details about House Agriculture Committee Republicans' plans for USDA’s #ThriftyFoodPlan (TFP), the basis for #SNAP benefit levels. Bottom line: This proposal would cut benefits for every SNAP participant in future years & should be rejected.
