Dear John,
Today is more than the day before Valentine’s Day. Today is more than two-days-before-candy-goes-on-sale. Today is our Baby Bonds party, and you're invited to show Baby Bonds some love!!
First, we’re excited to share our updated report, A Brighter Future With Baby Bonds: How States and Cities Should Invest in Our Kids, released this morning in partnership with the Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy. Initially released in 2021, this report has been updated to reflect learnings from the field over the past two years.
We believe in a world where everyone—of any race, ethnicity and economic background—can build wealth, enabling them to live with dignity and thrive. Baby Bonds legislation would get us closer to this by increasing economic opportunities in low-income and communities of color through funds that help more people build wealth. The programs are already seeing success at the state and local levels, and fighting for more Baby Bonds programs is the biggest act of love we can think of this Valentine's Day! So, what can you do?
Spread the Baby Bonds Love!
- Share our updated report with your networks. The newest Baby Bonds champion could be one of your connections!
- Share our Baby Bonds FAQ's. We know that talking policy can be confusing, so we break down the important points here.
- Share our Baby Bonds posts! We DID say today is our Baby Bonds party (some may even say our Baby Bonds Super Bowl...) and we'll be posting all day @ProsperityNow! Help us spread the word.
- Watch our Baby Bonds video below or read an exciting blog on Baby Bonds momentum at the state level here.
Whatever you do on Valentine's Day, we hope you'll show Baby Bonds some love and dive into all the latest updates from the field!
