I spoke on @scrippsnews today about the need to bring back the radically effective expanded Child Tax Credit.
The expanded CTC would help America's budget reflect our values, which I hope will center the health of children & families.

Today’s #SCOTUS decision erects new barriers to building a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We must continue to advocate for the dignity of all people regardless of their race, ethnicity, or class.

A healthier, more equitable society is within our reach if we can lift barriers to health and wellbeing that prevent millions of people of color from living their healthiest lives. Together, we can make the changes necessary to achieve #HealthEquity.

As @RWJF works to ensure everyone in America has access to high-quality, affordable, comprehensive healthcare, the impending Public Health Emergency expiration is worth examining.

Together, we can build housing policies that strengthen our neighborhoods for those who have been locked out for generations. Everyone should have access to a safe, stable, affordable place to call home. #HousingJustice #FairHousingMonth

Everyone who gives birth should have the chance to have safe births, healthy babies, and the ability to thrive as a family.
#BMHW23 is a reminder that there's still work to do to create a healthier future for all pregnant and birthing people, esp. Black moms. 1/
