We’re excited to introduce CEO's newest board members: Joli Cooper, @KhaCumberbatch, and Travis Baird.
Their dedication will help us continue to drive our mission forward. Together, we will continue to create exciting new economic opportunities for justice-impacted people!

Great to be out at Mount Moriah Cemetery today to meet with participants from @PhiladelphiaGov’s Gun Violence Intervention program in conjunction with @CEOWorks that provides those at risk of being engaged in gun violence with opportunities proven to break the cycle of violence.
Thank you, @SenSchumer for spending time with @samjschaeffer and CEO board members. We must ensure people do not lose food as they seek job training to secure higher wages. It's time for Congress to pass the Training & Nutrition Stability Act (HR 3087)! #SNAP #FarmBill2023 #returningstrong
👇This legislation would mean no one would have to choose between job training and putting food on the table. Visionary leadership by @RepEspaillat that has strong bi-partisan support. Thank you @MaxMillerOH@RepMolinaroNY19@RepAdams for your leadership.
Proud to introduce the Training and Nutrition Stability Act, which allows jobseekers in employment and training programs to maintain their nutrition benefits.
This bipartisan bill will strengthen the SNAP program and ensure job seekers are not unfairly penalized.

CEO leads 100 organizations in urging Congress to make a technical fix to SNAP so people in paid job training are able to maintain stability during reentry + other critical times for joining the workforce! Read the full letter here: https://t.co/8qX544vWis
