Susan Crandall's team are seeing that over 40% of childcare concerns are food-related. Head over to @cspumb to learn more about the critical findings they are discovering about our community. Ask yourself: "Where do we go from here?"

Susan Crandall points out that it's great other universities are having similar focuses on the impact of policies and asking how they are affecting people everyday. This is a wonderfully important point of progress!

Ana Patricia Munoz is doing some wonderful things in Ecuador! We could be taking notes on how we can bring some of that work to our communities here. Check out Grupo FARO for the work they and Ana are doing there. π

Paul Francisco adds that we should prioritize the things that are dragging us down: health disparities, homeownership issues, etc. Ultimately, it's to bring equity to people's lives.

Ana Patricia Munoz makes an important point: The US can do it; we have the money and political will. So we need to close the gap. There are some areas in the world where there is no political possibility for change.

Paul Francisco emphasizes housing security and income equality are two issues to place importance on. Having home ownership and livable wages have to be understood as impactful issues.
