We've learned the college admissions process doesn't make admissions about the whole college experience... the questions we should have asked are mental health challenges on college campuses.

Today’s pandemic has exacerbated the near-insurmountable challenges of reentry and increased the rate at which inmates are being released without adequate services. Reintegration after incarceration is a moral imperative.

Reentering society and the economy after leaving prison is never easy. The coronavirus pandemic has made it even harder and more complicated.

@pgogoi As economists, analysts, & policy makers revise the $600/week UI benefits, it’s important to remember the positive economic benefits and externalities of keeping Americans indoors during a pandemic. An economy runs better when it values and prioritizes human life.

10,000 people incarcerated and working in our federal prisons have tested positive for COVID-19.

The longstanding exclusion of Black communities from quality and affordable health care, education, employment, and housing has been laid bare and worsened by the devastation that COVID-19 has unleashed on these communities.

It’s time for a change. https://t.co/3M6T22xPCg

@ameliatd @NeilPaine @wiederkehra @uscensusbureau And, it’s strange to not mention what economists would describe as the positive externalities of UI benefits during a pandemic such as increased compliance with shelter-in-place orders, which could in turn slow the spread of #coronavirus and return economy back to “normalcy”

[policyscript @policy_script]

@ameliatd @NeilPaine @wiederkehra Great coverage, but there was a missed opportunity to highlight multiplier effect of UI benefits. It serves as an “automatic stabilizer,” amplifying household spending. For example, @uscensusbureau approximated 90% of UI beneficiaries used stimulus payments to pay expenses & debt

If you think cancel culture is too unforgiving and doesn’t allow for growth wait until you hear about the US criminal justice system.

Proactive public health infrastructure is critical to ensure basic needs are met, regardless of income, race, or geography. As our CEO @DanBrillo and President @TayJustice shared, people "should have the opportunity to thrive, not just survive." https://t.co/NQFVEV5gY8

Tech companies depending on black employee resource groups to push the diversity and inclusion agenda gives a false sense of progress by providing thse groups with small budgets and unreasonable responsibilities. 🙄
