@KQEDForum @susanstryker My object might be a plane ticket to SF; curious to hear you talk about trans migration in the past vs today.

Excellent point about centering the agency of people over government as savior in the #CTC rollout by @Melissa_In_DC at #EconCon

@lachicaboom i'm torn here on the desired outcome

Eli Lilley's cap on insulin at $35/month is a big deal. @GavinNewsom deserves some credit with his groundbreaking CalRX, a public option for insulin. Simply the announcement that CA plans to compete with a low cost, high quality option shapes the market vox.com/policy-and-pol…

Grateful to @BerniceKing talking about how #guaranteedincome was a part of her father’s legacy because it is a must for racial & economic justice. This is why all GI pilots must work to change narratives about deservedness by centering race & gender in their work.

Hey @POTUS & Congress pass the #childtaxcredit

Guaranteed income advocates have gathered in Atlanta at #GInow just as we’ve collectively reached 100+ pilots. But we want to move toward permanent policy—we know that @potus & legislators *can* pass a fully refundable #ChildTaxCredit — we’ve seen the evidence, time for change

Last year, child poverty dropped to HISTORIC LOWS thanks to the expanded, monthly #ChildTaxCredit. It's time for @POTUS and Congress to prioritize extending the monthly CTC! twitter.com/EconomicSecPro…

It’s time for #GuaranteedIncome Now! RSVP for the special webinar live from our national conference in Atlanta, GA. Featuring a fireside chat with @BerniceKing & @MichaelDTubbs RSVP 👉 economicsecproj.org/ginow
