I'm on the Hill today with Prosperity Now & our partners advocating #ForEveryKidsFuture ! Children nationwide need #babybonds to ensure our economic stability and success!
Every child deserves the resources to achieve their dreams. The HOPE Program ( #BabyBonds ) helps make this a reality for foster youth & kids who lost a parent to COVID.

How can policies like #babybonds and #guaranteedincome close the racial wealth gap? Darrick Hamilton and I explore this question in our latest op-ed for TIME 🧵
'Baby Bonds are bonds of hope, and if you haven’t heard much about them, you will soon.'
Institute Senior Advisor Gary Cunningham was interviewed by Ruthlessly Hopeful about #BabyBonds and the ways in which they can help close the racial wealth gap. bit.ly/3WmPkiY.
I love Darrick Hamilton’s brilliant idea that the purpose of the economy is empowerment and humanity for all families.
#BabyBonds are a choice expander that says, no matter your station, your parents’ station or who your parents are, every child must be invested in.
“Programs like #BabyBonds is an investment in all of us.” Sen. Cory Booker #ForEveryKidsFuture

This week, EPI Policy Director Nina Harrison joined @RITReasury to discuss investing in communities and decreasing the racial wealth gap through the creation of baby bonds here in Rhode Island #babybonds #equity #rhodeisland
This little one supports #BabyBonds because government-made problems require government solutions and the #racialwealthgap is a policy choice. Baby Bonds is a step toward narrowing the gap. #ForEveryKidsFuture

As a new-ish mom, I have a deeper understanding of the sacrifice my mom made to give me a brighter future. I wish the same for my son. That's why I advocate #ForEveryKidsFuture and #BabyBonds to make our economy more fair for babies born into families with little to no wealth.
Inspiring to hear from Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Cory Booker about their efforts to address the racial wealth gap in their communities and in the nation through #BabyBonds legislation #everykidsfuture Prosperity Now
TY Jamie Eldridge It’s so heartening to see the progress we’ve made since the #AssetDevelopment Commission al most 15 years ago. We still have more to do but I’m so grateful to you for your leadership & partnership #BabyBonds #MatchedSavings #mapoli #RacialWealthGap
Today I told Kenyan McDuffie just how much DC Action supports fully funding #BabyBonds in this year’s District budget. I was also happy to hear he thinks fully funding #PayEquityFund is in principle the right thing to do, even if he’s struggling w/ tough decisions. #Under3DC
Everyone was on 🔥 during our #BabyBonds event in City of Oakland! 👏 End Child Poverty in California
Big thanks to everyone who participated & attended!
#BabyBonds are a crucial tool for fostering #wealth and #racialequity , sparking hope for a brighter future in California and beyond! 💯

An investment in #BabyBonds is an investment in racial economic justice. Thanks to Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley for staying true to #BlackWomenLead by championing Baby Bonds through the American Opportunity Accounts Act! #ForEveryKidsFuture
