What makes a strong democracy? The #InternationalDayofDemocracy is coming up on Sept. 15—a time to reflect on our democracy, the challenges we face, and find a path forward together. Here at Pew, we work to empower lawmakers and citizens alike—beginning with gathering facts that can provide a common language for people to discuss their differences, allowing a diversity of voices and viewpoints to be heard and respected. This year for the International Day of Democracy, we want to hear from you: what makes a #StrongDemocracy?

🌊💵 The wave of state revenue during fiscal 2021 and 2022—coupled with more than $800 in federal funds—led to a flurry of new policymaking. This included tax cuts, more spending on families, and wage hikes. The wave has broken, with state tax revenue falling by more than 9% in 2023—the only drop in 40 years not during a recession. What can states learn from this unprecedented experience? Our experts dig in. https://pew.org/4gfNDvd

This September, as we mark both National Recovery Month and National Suicide Prevention Month, I’m reflecting on my personal recovery journey, and remembering just how connected it is to suicide risk. When I was actively using drugs and alcohol, I knew I could die, and at times, I wanted to die. But as I moved through the substance use treatment system, I was never considered at risk for suicide, and my underlying anxiety and depression were never addressed. I’m encouraged to see our health care system paying greater attention to mental health and suicide prevention. Now it’s time for clinicians to offer this same attention to people with substance use disorder—many of whom are also struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and more. #RecoveryMonth #RecoveryMonth2024 #RecoveryIsPossible #Recovery #Wellness #EndtheStigma #SuicidePreventionMonth #SPM24 #NSSP #988Day #SuicidePrevention

"More than $450 million in public benefits—that can help people afford food, utilities, health care, housing, childcare, and more—go unclaimed by eligible Philadelphians each year. These benefits can improve health outcomes and quality of life and provide the stability people need to achieve economic mobility." Pew's Kristin Romens shares the many reasons why these benefits are left on the table, and the strides Philadelphia is making toward a more efficient, accessible system. #Philadelphia #PewTrusts

It's #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay — a day to honor those who’ve been impacted by overdose. Around three-quarters of drug overdoses involve opioids, per Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) data. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the number of overdose deaths in the U.S. is climbing. While approximately three million U.S. adults have opioid use disorder, only a fraction, one-in-ten, are receiving medication treatment. Yet, hope to save lives and reverse the trend lies in the evidence-based solutions policymakers and healthcare practitioners can team up to implement: 1️⃣ Ease access to FDA-approved medications such as buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. 2️⃣ Treat opioid use disorder like a disease—helping provide long-term holistic care. 3️⃣ Perpetually gather data on treatment programs and patient outcomes to determine opportunities for refining the law and care landscapes. #TogetherWeCan #EndOverdose #IOAD24 #OverdoseAware https://pew.org/4gcZmdY

Fiscal 50's latest issue brief for The Pew Charitable Trusts is live: "How a Pandemic-Era Surge in Tax Collections Drove a Revenue Wave—and What It Means for Future State Budgets." The revenue wave, characterized by historic tax revenue growth and unprecedented levels of federal aid, brought state budgets to new highs in 2021 and 2022, with states collecting $152 billion more than what they were on track to prior to the pandemic. But now the wave has crashed - and states need to be prepared for what comes next. https://pew.org/4fJT2tV So excited to put this into the world with the dream team of co-authors, Alexandre Fall, MPP and Liz Farmer. And a tremendous thanks to everyone on the state fiscal policy team and all of the state officials and fiscal policy pros across the country who let us pick their brains for this one.
