The expanded #ChildTaxCredit & state #GuaranteedIncome pilot programs have helped millions of families experiencing poverty. But to tackle the root cause of families’ financial inequities, we have to address wealth gaps. More from @urbaninstitute: https://t.co/rDTpjukYlO

“[A #guaranteedincome] actually motivated me to find a better job… and now that better job, with everything going on in the economy, it isn’t enough.” – Tamika Calhoun, a #MagnoliaMothersTrust #guaranteedincome recipient.

Daniela DeJesus Gutierrez, a @bridgeprojectny #guaranteedincome recipient: “This program has blessed me and my child with diapers, food, stability, and not only financial stability, but emotional stability.” #CashAsCare

[Economic Security Project @EconomicSecProj]

Michelle Lockhart, a @theGROfund #guaranteedincome recipient asserts: “People don't need more education or financial literacy programs, they need support, they need cash, and I am a prime example of that.” #CashAsCare

[Melissa Harris-Perry @MHarrisPerry]

We are starting shortly! Celebrate #MothersDay by learning how mamas of color use cash programs to support themselves, their families, & their communities.

“Let me tell you a little something about my city, San Francisco: this is a city where you need over a $100,000 a year just to meet your basic needs if you are a single parent with one child.” – Dr. Malawa of @ExpectingJustSF

[Economic Security Project @EconomicSecProj]

An exciting prospect: “We really want the @ExpectingJustSF Abundant Birth Project to be a model that anybody can use. We can use government funding to improve birth outcomes in any city or state, so we would like to test our program out at scale.”

"Survival pending revolution" says Dr. Zea Malawa

[Economic Security Project @EconomicSecProj]

Our #CashAsCare discussion begins!

Dr. Zea: "If we want to talk about mothers, we need to talk about the mother of this work, which is, Dr. @aisha_nyandoro, who really normalized this idea that it's OK to give black women unrestricted cash, especially when they are parenting."

[Economic Security Project @EconomicSecProj]

@aisha_nyandoro “I lean into my radical imagination, and I lean into the reality that other individuals have a poverty of imagination, and I let that be what propels me.” – @aisha_nyandoro

[Meridian Solutions @meridiansolns]

We are so excited to hear from you!

[Economic Security Project @EconomicSecProj]

In a country with no federally guaranteed parental leave, no universal health care, no subsidized child care, no child tax credit, and no income floor to lift up those in need, we are contending with what it means to understand #CashAsCare https://t.co/WzlUuF5x0P 3/4
