Places w/ higher rates of poverty, don’t have more homelessness (left)

Places w/ higher rates of mental illness, don’t have more homelessness (top right)

Places w/ higher rents, *DO* have more homelessness (bottom right)

Bottom line: The root cause of homelessness is housing.

Access to over-the-counter birth control is a racial equity issue, a gender equity issue, and an economic equity issue.

In the same way that other methods of birth control are available over the counter, the pill should be too.

Freedman’s Bank was established in 1865 to provide emancipated Black Americans with banking services. Over 10 years the bank helped 100k Black people accumulate $57M in savings and wealth. When financial panic hit in 1973, Freedman’s was left to flounder and eventually fail.

We're about to see two forward-thinking cash programs in the city of Atlanta: a new @mayorsforagi #guaranteedincome pilot giving $500/mo for 12 months to 300 residents, AND a $2 million program to establish child savings accounts. https://t.co/fCTdPmMCfY

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Norway spends about $30,000 per child on early childhood care. Finland spends $23,000. Germany, $18,000.

The U.S. spends $500 per child.

In other words, 1/60th of what Norway spends on its toddlers.

How do we expect to build a better future if we refuse to invest in our kids?
