This morning, CLASP’s executive director, Olivia Golden, was the featured guest on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal to discuss how the pandemic is affecting people with low incomes. As she so succinctly summarized—and Washington Journal tweeted during the segment—“In a nutshell, it’s been devastation.”
During the 30-minute segment (which you can view here), Olivia highlighted the
- scale of the devastation,
- importance of Congress shoring up state and local budgets,
- proven policy strategies that can help, and
- necessity of our relief efforts reaching everybody.
