10 minutes in at @socinnovation #SIS2022 and first reference to #healthequity. Are we going to talk about #systemschange? Is that the new #win from the #COVID19 pandemic?
It’s happening! First in person conference! @MassService @CommonImpact #volunteering #civicengagement

"One of the ways that we change conversations for #equity is to make room for everyone to fail.
We're going to fail a lot if we try new stuff - some things are going to work and some aren't.
But that allows for #innovation and more collaborative work." - @elizabethroot

"It's only we unlock all the tools #philanthropy and the private sector have to offer - resources, policy, and more - that we can create transformative change in our communities." - Julian Posada, @LiftUpChi

Late .... But important. And an apology matters as it is ownership of a mistake

Covid at-home test: $25
Minimum wage: $7.25/hr
So, 3 1/2 hours of work at minimum wage to afford an at home test. That’s half a day’s earnings.
Free public testing: 2 1/2 hr wait in line
That’s $18 lost wages assuming someone can take off work to stand in line.
