"White supremacy has hardwired us to believe that Black people are different from the rest of us, further driving the false narrative that our struggles are not connected." - My latest for @MsMagazine just in time for #Juneteenth msmagazine.com/2024/06/18/bla…

A #CaLeg Must Read! It is shameful (though not unexpected ) that some in the #FastFood industry has been promoting this misinformation. It is even more shameful when people who should know better let them - or even empower them to do so. Thank you @latimes @hiltzikm!

2025 is our chance to make real change. READ more about the tax reforms Congress must make to build an economy that benefits all of us: #TaxLetter [6/6]

Corporate tax cuts in the Trump bill made it even more enticing for corporations to raise prices and squeeze consumers. With lower tax rates, corporations get to keep more of the winnings! [5/6] otherwords.org/trumps-corpora…

NEW - We joined over 100 national public interest groups to call on Congress to use the opportunity of expiring Trump tax cuts in 2025 to reform the tax code so that the rich and corporations pay their fair share. #TaxLetter [1/6] tinyurl.com/2p9kyzd5

As #BlackHistoryMonth comes to a close, we look at how #workrequirements are not just a modern policy forcing people to work for public benefits today...they’re tied to the history of #slavery and its aftermath: bit.ly/3SYrDdt @mavencollab @theGROfund

As we reach the end of #BlackHistoryMonth, let's talk about shifting the harmful narratives and practices of #workrequirements: bit.ly/3SYsgnl @jhumpa_b @AnnePriceICCED #BHM #racialjustice

Thrilled to release Work Requirements are Trash in partnership with @CLASP_DC and @IfeFinchFloyd. Speaking some massive truths in this paper! mavencollaborative.org/work-requireme…

"The economic argument against work requirements exposes the baselessness of 'welfare-to-work' tactics." Read from @CaraBrumfield of @CLASP_DC on the economic case against #workrequirements: bit.ly/3uU685y @mavencollab #BHM

It’s Time To Act Locally To Address Racial Wealth Inequality nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…

New paper out offering a framework on how local gov can address racial wealth inequality! mavencollaborative.org/leveraging-our…

"However, the “bootstraps” myth has been debunked by research time & again. Far too often, localities default to these individual-focused approaches that address the symptoms of racial wealth inequality & not their root causes." @mavencollab's latest! nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…

"..it’s time to demand what we all deserve...the “radical” idea that we can be a country where every single person is fed, sheltered &cared for." Our latest for @MsMagazine msmagazine.com/2024/01/18/exp…
