.@MaryMBogle: "One of the things we saw with THRIVE very clearly is that people made these really thoughtful, dynamic choices. But it involves trusting people to make good decisions & our safety net is designed with a lack of trust." (via @DanielleBMcLean) urbn.is/3thsjO1

.@MaryMBogle: Those living "in neighborhoods that are disinvested in are used to being treated badly by systems... I think their extraordinary reactions in this case say a lot about the barriers these folks usually encounter." (via @mslaurabliss) urbn.is/3BU07Vf

.@MaryMBogle: "Our safety net is very judgmental, but it does not show a lot of good judgment. If we designed a safety net...to help people in this country that was based on evidence, we would not have the systems the way they look now." (via @LorieKonish) urbn.is/33Rsbfv

Today is the last day in 2021 for non-filers to sign up for the #ChildTaxCredit!
The monthly #CTC payments provide 61M families with school supplies, childcare, and putting food on the table.
The expanded #ChildTaxCredit is more than a check – it’s childcare, it’s school supplies, it’s food on the table. And for Stacy and her family, it's already making a huge difference in their lives.
Learn how the child tax credit can help YOUR family at ChildTaxCredit.gov.

Don't look at the misleading charts, but poor people spend 40% more time waiting around than rich people do. Our safety net bureaucracy is an easily fixable source of this: just give people money.

Sports announcer Matt Rowan’s racist remarks are EXACTLY why these student-athletes took a knee. I'm proud of them for standing up for racial injustice and championing the fight for equality. Now, regulatory authorities must publicly condemn this racism too!
