Norway spends about $30,000 per child on early childhood care. Finland spends $23,000. Germany, $18,000. The U.S. spends $500 per child. In other words, 1/60th of what Norway spends on its toddlers. How do we expect to build a better future if we refuse to invest in our kids?

Freedman’s Bank was established in 1865 to provide emancipated Black Americans with banking services. Over 10 years the bank helped 100k Black people accumulate $57M in savings and wealth. When financial panic hit in 1973, Freedman’s was left to flounder and eventually fail.

Places w/ higher rates of poverty, don’t have more homelessness (left) Places w/ higher rates of mental illness, don’t have more homelessness (top right) Places w/ higher rents, *DO* have more homelessness (bottom right) Bottom line: The root cause of homelessness is housing.
