We must dismantle harmful narratives about "absent Black dads" that are perpetuated by the media.

Every day, I strive to demonstrate the power of a fully present, resilient Black father to my kids. https://t.co/uQtHL8FZnU

"Courage is an amazing thing. It's contagious."

Inspired by those words from @aijenpoo, #FamilyCaregivers like @Dwayneacurry are making care work visible and building support for policies that promote caregiving and advance health equity. https://t.co/AbIDkq8cOq

The essential piece to the #caregiving puzzle? Parent and caregiver perspectives.

[RWJF @RWJF]

Creating policy that works for families requires working with parents and #caregivers.

@Dwayneacurry explores how @RWJF is acting on the wisdom and guidance of the Family Advisory Committee to help children and families thrive. https://t.co/T0GPJMXXo6

The expanded Child Tax Credit was hugely successful in alleviating poverty and helping families afford housing, food, healthcare and more. Let’s bring it back.

[Dr. Avenel Joseph @DrAvenelJoseph]

I spoke on @scrippsnews today about the need to bring back the radically effective expanded Child Tax Credit.

The expanded CTC would help America's budget reflect our values, which I hope will center the health of children & families.

Today’s #SCOTUS decision erects new barriers to building a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We must continue to advocate for the dignity of all people regardless of their race, ethnicity, or class.

A healthier, more equitable society is within our reach if we can lift barriers to health and wellbeing that prevent millions of people of color from living their healthiest lives. Together, we can make the changes necessary to achieve #HealthEquity.

Families have invaluable experience but aren't usually included in developing and making decisions about policies that impact their lives.

Achieving meaningful solutions to the caregiving puzzle requires partnering with parents and caregivers. https://t.co/d5DV4PloAm

[RWJF @RWJF]

Amplifying caregiver voices and building powerful coalitions with leadership that includes parents, caregivers, and providers is critical to advance the transformational changes the #CareEconomy needs. https://t.co/WX2avHZZ3Y

As @RWJF works to ensure everyone in America has access to high-quality, affordable, comprehensive healthcare, the impending Public Health Emergency expiration is worth examining.

Who does this put at risk & how can advancing #HealthEquity be part of the winddown process? 1/

Countdown to Freedom to Learn #May3DayOfAction. We all want our children to have access to America’s complete history. Black history is American history, and young people deserve the #FreedomToLearn.

Together, we can build housing policies that strengthen our neighborhoods for those who have been locked out for generations. Everyone should have access to a safe, stable, affordable place to call home. #HousingJustice #FairHousingMonth

It was amazing to see Michelle Browder’s art live at @RWJF #Catalyze

[RWJF @RWJF]

By talking to families and prioritizing their needs and aspirations, the U.S. can build meaningful policies and programs that benefit all. #CareCantWait
