Dear John,

Investing in our kids from birth is a bold step towards achieving racial economic justice, and we are calling on lawmakers to make this a reality through the introduction of Baby Bonds legislation. Baby Bonds are an innovative solution to help narrow the racial wealth divide – providing children with significant nest eggs to set them up for prosperity as adults.

Today, Prosperity Now and The New School’s Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy (IRPPE) [[link removed]] are pleased to share our new paper, A Brighter Future with Baby Bonds: How States and Cities Should Invest in Our Kids [[link removed]]. And that’s not all… [[link removed]]

Join us for an exciting virtual conversation to learn more as we talk about this paper [[link removed]] with national and state leaders

on February 17, 2022 at 12:30pm EST.

Moderated by Kimberly Adams [[link removed]], host of NPR’s Marketplace, [[link removed]] A Brighter Future with Baby Bonds: How States and Cities Should Invest in Our Kids [[link removed]], will feature professor Darrick Hamilton, Ph.D., of IRPPE, Connecticut Treasurer Shawn Wooden, DC Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie and Gary Cunningham, President and CEO of Prosperity Now.

Listen in as we discuss how Connecticut and Washington, DC are leading the way on implementing first-in-the-nation Baby Bonds programs and share how other states and localities can create Baby Bonds programs as a step toward narrowing the racial wealth divide. We’ll also talk about how Baby Bonds can complement other proposals like guaranteed income to address financial insecurity and racial economic inequality.

Come strategize with us to learn more about how you can support this innovative policy.
