Child tax credits 🤝 guaranteed income pilots
Did you know 14 states now have some form of a state #ChildTaxCredit? This is exactly what guaranteed income looks like in action. It's one more tool that policymakers have to end poverty in the U.S.

Fines and fees associated with the carceral system set people up to fail. And if you can't pay, you can go back to prison. You are TOO POOR TO BE FREE. Help us break the cycle of poverty and incarceration. Visit justincome.org to learn more #2poor2bfree #reentry

JUST IN: In #FL the @AlachuaCounty Commission just successfully voted to end ALL discretionary jail fees.
This was made possible by a truly community-driven movement. Thanks to @CommunitySpring and all who are fighting to #EndJusticeFees.

“…companies can mitigate bias and remove barriers that are excluding talented workers and help these workers build economic stability not only for themselves, but their families and communities.” Thankful @GainesvilleGov got this done in with @CommunitySpring last year!
Three-quarters of formerly incarcerated people remain unemployed a year after their release. Fair chance hiring policies create a pipeline for job seekers with criminal records into the workforce. f-st.co/l3B3nGV

And who pays the most $ for loved ones' incarceration? WOMEN! Especially women of color! Paying on the inside and the outside more than anyone else.

🚨Welcome to MGI, Mayor @hlward! Gainesville’s @JustIncomeGNV recognizes the inherent dignity of all our neighbors, and we’re excited to continue the work of making our communities stronger via a #guaranteedincome.

Guaranteed income recognizes the inherent dignity & unlocks the inherent potential of all our neighbors.
Thank you @laurenbpoe, @hlward, @JustIncomeGNV, & @CommunitySpring for your work!
Sharon speaks right to the heart of it. After incarceration, having a guaranteed income can mean the difference between freedom and being put back in a cage.
Nobody should be too poor to be free.

No one should be too poor to be free.
Thank you Mayor @laurenbpoe & @CommunitySpring for investing in our justice-impacted community through a #guaranteedincome.
Thank you @mycbs4 @LeyvaMassiel for highlighting our work at the intersection of poverty and incarceration. When our justice-impacted neighbors have an unconditional temporary income, it's amazing what can happen. @mayorsforagi

Formerly incarcerated people must do the morbid math of balancing the price of living against the threat of reincarceration if they can’t pay fines and fees. It's terrifying. Covering those costs is one way our guaranteed income recipients have found relief. @mayorsforagi
