Data can tell a story about children's lives, if only we listen. Data can also help us see where there are (in)equities in our systems. We are committed to effective and ethical use of data. It's how we make smart choices about which public policies will be good for kids.

[Schuyler Center @SchuylerCenter]

We know that #childtaxcredits designed with intention can drastically reduce child poverty rates by providing meaningful assistance to families. Ending child poverty is a policy choice.

[Schuyler Center @SchuylerCenter]

What we know: Child poverty is a policy choice, with policy solutions.

Next Tuesday, you can join us (for free!) to hear about early childhood policies proven to uplift families - and how New York can get there.

Child poverty in the U.S. more than doubled in 2022, the result of policy choices.

Join us on 9/26 as we discuss how NYS can do better with poverty-fighting policies that work.

Thank you @RepBowman for your leadership in the fight to secure $16B in emergency funding for child care. New York's families and the child care programs they rely on are counting on Congress to act.

"When the federal government decided to invest in children in 2021, child poverty plummeted. When they backed away from that decision, child poverty skyrocketed. This is the direct result of policy choices” @iteptweets  https://t.co/Q5kIOxHool
