Our Catapult Family is enjoying time off today in recognition of Juneteenth to spend time with our families and community. While we celebrate and reflect, we also recognize that although progress has been made, there is still so much more to do.
For every $100 in white family wealth, Black families hold just $5.04. A reckoning on the racial wealth gap in this country is desperately overdue.

Nearly 4 million kids have been pushed into poverty since Manchin, Sinema, and the GOP let the expanded Child Tax Credit expire in December. Poverty is a policy choice.
