@AspenAscend @_YoslinAmaya @DelRio_Lesley @MrDDJackson @MommaMichaela @savstei @ArielVentura_ @waukecha Seriously how lucky to know all these people creating such amazing paths for others! 😭😍

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

@Students7United @AngelaDavisMPR The conversation needs to include the students who are parents 1st as well. #timeproverty #2genpolicy

@tdavies885 @Ilhan Whatever privilege is preventing you from seeing that being on "welfare" doesn't mean you are lazy! One doesn't equal the other!

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

@Cosmic_Djinn @SherriB55001887 @Ilhan You don't get it. You are asking a group of people who are most at risk to go to the most dangerous place all because there is this notion that poor people can't be trusted. Your privlage is blocking your view!

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

@MaryDombrovski @schliggermentz @Ilhan Do you think we have a fraud free system now? What if we passed laws to make life easier not harder...what would that look like?

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

@Cosmic_Djinn @SherriB55001887 @Ilhan And what about the single parents with young children?

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

Love the idea of an email with links to legit resources. Everyone is going to need different things...but just knowing someone is looking out for you is a good start.

@JoeBiden and @SenSanders

@ArielVentura_ is a perfect picture of a parent who is killing it at school, fatherhood, and community member! Spend a day with him and see how challenging the day to day is. #studentparent #2gen #parentadvisor

[Ariel Ventura-Lazo @ArielVentura_]

I would personally invite @SenSanders & @JoeBiden to walk in the shoes of a student parent who faces several obstacles on a daily basis amongst financial, food, and shelter insecurities. I would be honored to provide the lens of over 4 million parent leaners today. @GeorgeMasonU

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

@ArielVentura_ You are my hero! Your kids will truly be blessed by your work! 👏

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

It was also the support of @JeremiahProgram Their innovative #2genpolicy along side the PLAs and a generous transfer program that allowed me to obtain my degree.

I'm always so grateful to have this platform! Theres so much work to be done. @NewAmericaEd 🙏 and @AspenAscend 🙏

Three of our #studentparent advisors’ amazing perspectives summarized in this blog - ‘if we can make higher education work for student parents, we can make it work for every student in America’ ⁦@ArielVentura_⁩ ⁦@bblock1984⁩ and Lesley DEL Rio https://t.co/U5Ej80w0XS

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

This guy...we need to lift dads like this up. We need to remove barriers to make the path clear. #2genpolicy #studentparents

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

This is a great piece! Why are we creating policy that's so difficult to access? I'm confident we can do better than this...#2genpolicy #socialcapital #pathways #studentparents

[Bryce McKibben @bmckib]

NEW: @USGAO report from ⁦@PattyMurray⁩ ⁦@SenDuckworth⁩: there are 4 MILLION student parents in college today. 2.6 million may be unaware of full financial aid options for dependent care. #RealCollege https://t.co/bhxyr7giek

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

It's always an honor to share my experience! And when I get to connect with friends I've made along this journey, it a bonus! @ArielVentura_

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

@ArielVentura_ @AspenAscend It's always a pleasure to work with you! #werethriving #thestruggleisntover

[Brittany Block @bblock1984]

What if we meet people where they were and helped lift them up? @JeremiahProgram and other 2gen programs have seen positive outcomes with these types of approaches.

[Gloria Perez @gigi_gperez]

Right on! I love the quotes shared about "slaying poverty." Let's start talking about how to maximize the potential in all human beings, not just those who we're fortunate enough to to have investments in their growth early and often.
