After the uprisings @JenParker393 & I wanted to read & hear from folks organizing & thinking about how we change our current condition. It didn't exist so we made our own. We hope you read it. Share it. Sign up to get it. It's free. Hammer & Hope is live today.

"Anti-work activists [...] advocate the virtues of a universal basic income, which does away with the need to work at all."

Are you as tired as we are of hearing this "people won't work if you give them an income floor" argument? See our thread below 🧵https://t.co/9Bzds4OPrN

While this is promising news, Congress should permanently remove the SNAP work requirement for students. At the very least, lawmakers should make the temporary COVID-19 SNAP student changes permanent. https://t.co/3UYuy9Usia

The #ProsperitySummit2022 had to have done something right because on this day after despite being VERY exhausted, somehow I’m also super duper inspired, energized and refreshed 🤓

Today is Black women's equal pay day. To say that it takes 9.5 months more for a Black woman to make what a white man made in 2021 shows at it's core how we value some people and not others. - @taifabutler

@dodsonadvocate @aliciagarza Yes!! Was so nice to see a friendly face :)

[Riani Carr @RianiCarr]

I wish I could type faster but all you need to know is @aliciagarza speaking the truth and my new mission statement is to “investigate to excavate” - to recreate our systems, not just adapt them 😮‍💨 #ProsperitySummit2022

[Riani Carr @RianiCarr]

Oop, there it is! 😗

[Prosperity Now @prosperitynow]

“If you don’t acknowledge that racism exists, and if you don’t investigate to excavate where the poison is, you just grow scar tissue around the poison. And the poison keeps spreading.” @aliciagarza at this afternoon’s plenary #ProsperitySummit2022 @blackfutureslab

[Ashley Burnside @burnsideashley1]

“The books we were supposed to read in 2020, your kids cannot read in 2022.” @newsbysamuels speaking powerfully about the backlash to the George Floyd racial justice movement at the #ProsperitySummit2022

These @TweetAtCPG leaders are exactly the folks that should be guiding change. Not only in what needs to be done but how it’s gonna get done. We love to see it! 👏🏾

[CLASP @CLASP_DC]

.@TweetAtCPG: We believe that achieving transformational, anti-racist policy change is only possible when impacted people occupy positions of leadership & share systemic power. Therefore, recipients must have the power to improve policies and programs that claim to reduce poverty
