Not only are we losing domestic and agricultural workers due to Florida's anti-immigrant law, but we're also losing them due to meager wages & unsafe conditions. The implications for South Florida will be devastating. Give @FloridaPolicy a follow for the facts! #flapol
Florida's 112,000+ domestic workers face meager wages, unsafe & unstable working conditions, scant benefits, & lack of protections afforded to other working people. It's long past time to right these wrongs. @SocialPsychA #sayfie Learn more 👇👇👇 https://t.co/HnN4KdMqRU

POLICY MATTERS: Families hear about $7,500 for private school education, and they envision the doors of Heritage Hall or Holland Hall swinging wide open for their children. But, buyer beware. That tax credit falls short of their tuition by about $15,000. https://t.co/ASi3fBlc5G

Best of luck, Amy! We'll miss you!
We are so sad to see Amy leave the Institute. The passion Amy has for helping others is so evident in everything she does. We wish her the best at Covering Kids & Families of Indiana as the Director of Public Policy and Communications.
