The ventilation in schools can quite literally make kids sick. But unlike a lot of issues, there's already money available to fix it — people just have to insist that it gets done. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Most repeat defendant cases included someone who cited drug addiction, mental illness, or both as a factor in their crimes. But almost none of them met the strict eligibility requirements for the parts of the court that provide more appropriate support. themarshallproject.org/2022/10/26/who…
A survey showed that 86% of young farmers use practices that improve land health and climate resilience. But most young farmers can't afford to buy land. Agriculture accounts for ~11% of the U.S.'s greenhouse gas emissions, so fixing this is urgent. nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…

NEW: While corporate profits soar, families struggle to afford basics like food and housing. The #ChildTaxCredit is perfectly positioned to help. @CAPPoverty explains why Congress must improve the CTC before passing any corporate tax breaks. americanprogress.org/article/child-…
Sheriffs are responsible for large parts of the local criminal justice system: They're the ones running jails and carrying out evictions. A new survey shows that they believe their power supersedes the governor and the President. themarshallproject.org/2022/10/18/we-…
There are about 200 federally recognized tribes that do not have treaties with the U.S. government. That leaves tribe members legally vulnerable for things as simple as taking a few dozen clams from their territory. hakaimagazine.com/news/the-preca…

In Detroit, most foreclosures are because of unpaid property taxes. More than a third of Detroit's houses were foreclosed between 2002 and 2016. That means the city is seizing a whole lot of houses from its residents. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/o…

Welcome Patrick! We’re excited for your leadership and can’t wait to get started moving the progressive agenda forward with you.
Finally, It’s my first day at @amprog! Wish me luck. Looking at headlines feels like that awful Billy Joel song where he rhymes Roy Cohn with Juan Peron. So many versions of truth colliding. But we have a progressive arc on equity, climate, inclusive democracy. Let’s get to work!
@talkpoverty I’d like the IRS to collect this money please and thank you. Sheesh. Why are we not taking to the streets and demanding it.
May is #OlderAmericansMonth. Tackling the growing food insecurity among older adults is foundational to achieving active aging and wellness. Learn more with the latest @fractweets blog: bit.ly/3wA1XHg #EndHungerNow
Let’s make sure all students are hunger-free and ready to learn. Every child deserves access to a nutritious breakfast and lunch at school. #SchoolMeals4All
Hunger affects every community in the country. If we're going to end hunger in America, we have to break down harmful stereotypes. Read more from @CivilEats:
"Only by recognizing that abundance and scarcity are both legitimate, [...] parts of the Asian American story can we truly begin to refute the one‑dimensional model minority myth and begin address hunger and food insecurity in Asian America." #AAPIHM bit.ly/3fQcuHx
@talkpoverty This is so dangerous and irresponsible

The Center for American Progress, @amprog, @talkpoverty, should put together a 2020 version of their 2007 From Poverty to Prosperity: A National Strategy to Cut Poverty in Half Report, americanprogress.org/issues/poverty…. The 2007 Report was great and helped move the conversation.
"But @mattbc" you might ask, "how on earth would they know about you, you're relatively small-time!" True, fair. But you will concede, I would hope, that Trump officials have heard about @amprog & may be familiar with @talkpoverty? I shared this byline ⤵️ talkpoverty.org/2019/03/28/tru…
USDA has flaunted its new $1.2 billion Farmers to Families program as an “innovative” way to address food waste & hunger. It is misguided and has created chaos and inequity. USDA should connect more people to #SNAP by addressing barriers like stigma, shame, and misinformation.
