Reallly looking forward to this conversation TONIGHT with Darren Walker at Ford Foundation

Register to join @Just_Shelter—Sociologist Princeton University, Contributing writer NYT Magazine, Principal Investigator @EvictionLab—for #IdeasAtFord to discuss the morally urgent problem of US poverty, which is at a greater level than any other advanced democracy.

Paper coming soon...
