Our leaders didn’t prepare us for the virus, or a shock like it, and that left all of us, but particularly the most vulnerable, exposed. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/03/06/nation/mass-surpasses-16000-deaths-due-covid-19/ #mapoli

It’s telling that the last two Democratic Presidents began their presidencies with a “Recovery Act” and a “Rescue Plan” because their inheritances were so catastrophic.

Beautiful urban visions from @berkie1 !

Sure would help to have a robust, thriving public transit system to enable this.

Let this sink in— 5,700,000 children will be lifted out of poverty soon by President Biden’s #COVID19 relief aid passed by Congress.

Zero Republicans (House/Senate) voted for it.

Only way we passed it that Democrats won 2 senate seats for a 50-50 tie & VP Harris made it 51-50. https://twitter.com/ChrisLu44/status/1366524803742597120

This deserves a lot more attention

New analysis: 13.1 million fewer Americans would be in poverty after the passage of Biden's economic relief bill

Significantly, the child poverty rate would be cut in half. That's 5.7 million fewer kids in poverty https://www.povertycenter.columbia.edu/news-internal/2021/presidential-policy/biden-economic-relief-proposal-poverty-impact?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20210228&instance_id=27598&nl=the-morning®i_id=103545475&segment_id=52539&te=1&user_id=cd59d05eab07f3403b8db65ae0fa15b3

“..it could become one of the most effective laws to fight poverty in a generation. Columbia University’s Center on Poverty and Social Policy estimates that the plan would reduce the poverty rate by more than a quarter for adults and cut the child poverty rate in half.”
