It's no secret that the US social safety net as it exists today is not doing enough to support struggling families. To fix it, we need to adopt a new approach to designing social programs: including the people who use those programs in the process. governing.com/now/to-get-saf…

We’ve selected over 1700 Long Beach residents to receive $1000 a month over 3 months to help pay the rent. Their second check is on its way. We are also working to build our universal basic income pilot program. Guaranteed income is the future, time for Congress to get on board.

Policymakers, administrators, and other leaders met with individuals with the lived expertise of facing barriers to benefits access. As @dr_pugh describes, it's an approach gaining momentum to create a more inclusive safety net. governing.com/now/to-get-saf…

@JoeBiden Second bill should be or include a permanent extension of the enhanced child tax credit. And you should be making this promise too because it drives just as much support as abortion rights and even more for certain key voter demographics. inthesetimes.com/article/midter…

It's been been well established that the expanded Child Tax Credit had a huge impact on reducing child poverty in the US. Now, there's new data showing that Democrats who run on renewing the program will get a big boost at the polls this November. inthesetimes.com/article/midter…

This can't be said enough. The expanded #ChildTaxCredit is the most successful anti-poverty program in a generation. Congress *must* extend it.
The Leadership Conference@civilrightsorg

.@POTUS at today's #WHConfHungerHealth: “The expanded child tax credit is one of the most effective programs we've ever seen. And that's why my national strategy calls on Congress to expand the child credit permanently.” Congress must get this done. #ChildTaxCredit

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
The Child Tax Credit cut childhood poverty by 30% and reduced families’ reliance on payday loans — allowing parents to better manage emergency expenses, pay for tutors for their children, and spend more time with them. Economic security programs work.
