Important piece from @brycecovert with @FoodChoices4All on #EITC: “We should acknowledge that theses tax credits are a critical lifeline for families.”

[Bryce Covert @brycecovert]

The EITC is a life saver for poor, working parents. But we could make it even better. https://t.co/PZHvJQkQB5

Very solid imagery from Dr. @CamaraJones, important notes on addressing #InstitutionalRacism in order to intervene in personally-mediated and internalized racism. Useful for Day 8 of #FSNEEquityChallenge.

We'll absolutely be taking part of the #FSNEEquityChallenge– racism & discrimination affects our food systems in such devastating and complex ways!

Day 3 - Racial segregation and oppression in our food systems continues: Can you see them? “U.S. agriculture today appears to be just as segregated as it was a century ago, with farmers of color at a significant disadvantage.” https://t.co/S3tFLNZyCR

A highlight of my day was meeting @Witnesses_Natl Emily Edwards @emilyladybug. Her presentation on the #EndDiaperNeed Congressional briefing on #HR1846 was so honest and powerful. H/T to @SpeakerPelosi @TeamPelosi for inviting us to visit your patio w/ @jgoldblum @diapernetwork.

“That’s my door. It’s like all of us – just all locked up. And sometimes I feel like welfare, that’s what it is, a locked door. Like we’re tryin’ to get through a locked door.” – Tangela F., Witnesses to Hunger: Philly in this @HungerFreeCtr Spotlight: https://t.co/U2Pqi7pSh6

[Witnesses To Hunger @Witnesses_Natl]

Tangela F. added: “This is my daughter Asiya taking a bath, and I am glad that she doesn’t need to worry about the safety of her bath water. I want to make sure that all children have access to safe, clean and affordable housing throughout their lives.” #AccountabilityInPhilly

When we introduced #FairWorkweekPHL in June, Symphony Hurst told us why it mattered so much: the constant stress, trying to balance child care, hoping to pick up shifts, struggling to pay bus fare.

Symphony is why we fight. Listen to her story: https://t.co/d4zc1x7RFA

[Helen Gym @HelenGymAtLarge]

70% of poor Philadelphians are women and children.

“As low-income women—many of us women of color and single moms—we live the daily reality of juggling the bills with the unwaged caregiving work we do.”

Every Mother is a Working Mother & @WomenStrike demand #FairWorkweekPHL.

[Women Against Abuse @WomenAgnstAbuse]

The time has come to recite the Teen Pledge Against Violence. Stand with us as we pledge to end teen dating violence with the Teen Pledge! #iPledgeBecause
