[Kathryn Anne Edwards @keds_economist]

Working on a paper, I find myself once again staring at the credit denial rates by race and family income, and that the black-white difference *increases* with income.

Nearly 1 in 4 (23%) Black adults in families with income above $100,000 were denied credit over a year.

[Wide Margins @widemargins_mag]

We know that deprivation in childhood can have severe developmental consequences.

Now we’re learning about how economic supports for families may contribute to improved cognitive development.

@mpellittieri Ha! Taking another look at a doc I just drafted, this feels like a personal attack 😁

POVERTY IS A POLICY CHOICE. CARES + Dec package + American Rescue Plan >>>>> American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. that blue circle was crushing and a choice. https://t.co/sMpjEDIMLT

[Chandra Villanueva 🦏 @ChandraKus]

We need to change the narrative on poverty and expose the moral failings of society that allow poverty and hunger to exist in our land of abundance. Through policy we can end poverty. Great discussion at #HLA21 @HungerCenter
