“Wealth inequality touches everyone.”
-- Connecticut Treasurer Shawn T. Wooden
Dear John,
We are still thinking about our conversation from February 17 and feeling inspired to fight for a future where we set up communities to prosper and thrive for generations.
Thank you for joining Prosperity Now [[link removed]] and the Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy at The New School [[link removed]] for A Brighter Future with Baby Bonds: How States and Cities Should Invest in Our Kids. For those who may have missed it or would like to revisit the discussion and share it with your colleagues, here is a recording of the live event. And if you haven’t had a chance to read the paper on which the event was based, check it out here [[link removed]].
Highlights
Senator Cory Booker’s energizing message on why he’s investing in our kids by introducing federal Baby Bonds legislation
Hearing lessons learned on how Connecticut and Washington, DC are leading the way in implementing Baby Bonds at the state and local level
Connecticut residents sharing their experience and thoughts about how Baby Bonds would help their families and communities
Darrick’s conversation with Professor David Grusky on reimagining an economy that empowers people, families, and future generations to thrive
Coming together for this robust discussion is just the start. Our work to narrow the racial wealth divide and build an economy that is just, fair, and free from structural racism continues.
On behalf of Prosperity Now and the Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy at The New School, thank you for your commitment to building a brighter future for our kids. Together, we can narrow the racial wealth divide and ensure all of us can thrive and prosper.
