    Rich people can sleep more than eight hours a day because we pass laws like the tax cut and jobs act that gives them money to keep making more money. Who needs sleep when you have policy and power?

    Has it occurred to you 1) that rich influencers routinely lie about how much they sleep to create an image of faux industriousness 2) we actually have data on who gets the least amount of sleep, and it’s poor people

    I have been feeling very “on purpose” lately and 👇🏾helps better describe what I’m feeling. I’m convinced we can collectively achieve economic liberation for people of color. Starting to let my imagination run wild and embracing the real me, not the ideal me.

    You are not a machine; you have no intended function. Don't think of your purpose as a thing you should do. Your purpose is who you are becoming. The evidence of that is the conviction inside of you. What are you convinced of? What is inside of you that you MUST become?

    What a momentous occasion! Congrats to the coalition supporting this work!

    Senator introduces “This Bill seeks to remove economic shackles on people long after they served their time. These fees are high pain, low gain.”

    This article about my hometown raises important questions about assumptions of gentrification and displacement that I think has implications about who is really going to benefit from

    This is a great little piece that uses our report on gentrification and neighborhood change as a jumping-off point for a discussion of the poverty and segregation that remain overlooked in Ohio, even as they've bedeviled the state's cities for decades.

    Or as says, 2020 and elections generally are commas, not periods. We have to plan three months past the (hopefully) win!

    I LOVE reminding us that ‘Jesus was clear about his public policies. There is no Christian Right or Left. Everyone has to walk past Jesus and the Bible and its clarity on taking care of the poor.’ Take me to church!

    Undoing otherization starts with undoing systemic racism. Real racism is what is in the policies, not what is in your heart. Cultural racism is ugly and a symptom that followed the system of racism. I.e. Racist voter suppression and gerrymandering.

    Bridging forces us to rethink the work we do. How are we training people? How are we door knocking? Creating org partnerships? True bridging requires us revamp in order to not reinforce breaking culture and recalibrate our expectations. Jennifer Martinez of PICO California

    Love this idea of being hard on systems and institutions and systems, soft on people in our work of bridging across difference as we seek big change.

    California should recover from its addiction to inequality. We need solidarity economics at scale. Phew big provocations and a comprehensive transformational path forward!

    Second: Understand power and how we encourage solidarity in our economy. Connecting communities like TVA, protecting people like with Social security. Because companies are not providing security.

    Reconceptualize work because work is increasingly precarious, creative, and about caring for others...all that require skill. No low-skilled caregivers!
