Invisible Americans Podcast: Please join Jeff Madrick and me on Monday, May 6th, 6p/ET at the Roosevelt House Institute of Public Policy! We examine the growing policy and practice of cash payments to mothers and babies--not only federal, but state, city, and individual philanthropy--to help the 13 million children in the US living in poverty. Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the Flint, Michigan pediatrician who exposed the poisoning of the city's children through Flint's lead pipes--and started a global environmental movement--now has the first in nation cash disbursement for every child born in the city--starting at 20 weeks of pregnancy. She's amazing, as are our other guests. We partner in this event with Holly Fogle, founder of the Bridge Project, the first in the country to grant cash support to mothers and babies--virtually no questions asked--for the first 1000 days of life. She and the program are making an astonishing impact--beginning in New York City, and now spreading across the country. Let's #endchildpoverty! The Invisible Americans Podcast is a nonprofit 501(c)3 communications project to end US child poverty. https://lnkd.in/eM3eRPU8 The Invisible Americans Holly Fogle The Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College
