Let’s make it clear: Organizing matters. 
It was because of advocacy AND organizing, we were able to cut child poverty by almost one-third in 2021. In the midst of one of the great economic crises of our time: we cut child poverty by a third. #LiveAtUrban

Overturning a half-century of precedent, the Supreme Court turns a constitutional right into a crime for tens of millions of women. Its legitimacy gone, the Court should take up residence with the RNC, which defines its agenda.

The Supreme Court’s ruling is the worst attack on the rights of American women in generations – but it will not be the final word. We must make our voices heard at the ballot box.

The only way to effectively deal with negative emotions, the only way to really reduce them, is through the mind, through the application of counteractive mental states that oppose the negative emotions affecting us. That’s the only real, long-term way to reduce them.

It is rare, rare, rare for the Federal government to say to #localgovs in the #US: use this money to strengthen your data and evaluation chops.
But that actually happened. And the msg wasn't lost on mayors like #DC's .
