From the Editor

My inbox has been filled with stories about advocates within various communities ever since the launch of our updated local Scorecard data [[link removed]]. These individuals have expressed creative ideas on how they can use data to make a difference in their neighborhoods.

We've also been relishing in excitement of our wins with VITA permanence [[link removed]] and manufactured housing [[link removed]]; along with the reintroduction of the American Opportunity Accounts Act—also known as baby bonds—late last month by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA-7).

This month’s newsletter highlights the different approaches we can take toward accomplishing economic justice for all of America’s diverse communities including holding collaborative events; improving the way we deliver programs such as Children’s Savings Accounts; and drafting legislative proposals.

Read more about this month's topics below!

Sincerely,

Kristin Lawton

Senior Director of Communications
