Hey @potus & congress! Please pass the monthly #ChildTaxCredit

Ten million children across the nation will slip into poverty because everyday people cannot count on an oil baron Senator from West Virginia to do the right thing. Fortunately for Oregonians, we have the initiative process: opr2022.org #PeoplesRebate #ChildTaxCredit

The expanded Child Tax Credit has been one of the single most important policies to reduce childhood poverty in a generation. Petitions are being delivered to Congress from constituents urging them to #ProtectTheCTC @SenSchumer @SenatorDurbin @RonWyden @SpeakerPelosi @RepJeffries

It’s been 2 weeks since we kicked off #OPR2022 and got our first signature! Since then, we’ve had teams kick off in Portland, Corvallis, Roseburg, & Eugene with Salem on the way! Get involved today at OPR2022.org
People are starting to realize that direct cash payments are a good thing for themselves, their families, and their communities. If you are an Oregon voter, please request a signature sheet to get our initiative on the ballot! #peoplesrebate #oregonUBI oregoncapitalinsider.com/new…

What would make you feel safer right now: more aircraft carriers or $2000/month in your pocket?

How amazing is the NYC basic income team? Check out what they put at Prospect Park across from @chuckschumer's residence: an eviction installation, demonstrating the thousands in NY losing housing during this pandemic. Thank you Paige Havener and team! #RecurringCashPayment now!

Not to mention the indignities of compliance. Just put yourself in someone's shoes whose life situation forces them to access these programs, the indifferent bureaucrats, the endless, recurring forms, the "gotcha" exceptions - what do you think it does to you as a person?
Replying to @scottsantens
SNAP excludes 1 out of 3 people in poverty. TANF excludes 4 out of 5 people in poverty. Section 8 excludes 3 out of 4 people who qualify. SSI+SSDI excludes 4 out of 5 people with a disability. Non-universal programs will always exclude people that universal programs will not.
