Trump is waging a war on working class families with reckless tariffs, illegal interference with federal programs, and cuts to healthcare, education, and food services. We asked families how they’re surviving, and what they want from government.
This morning, we released an alarming new report detailing the depths of Americans’ financial distress, based on a June survey of 2,000 voters with @MorningConsult. TCF President Julie Margetta Morgan (@jmargetta) explains in a new op-ed in @RollingStone. https://t.co/GSFoZ0k3Rb

“This is about representation. We don’t have enough people with disabilities, and we don’t have enough young moms in the halls of power. This is about the missing voices of millions of Americans who don’t have representation in our own government.” -@SenDuckworth

Funding early childhood education is tricky: most public programs serve low-income families, while most private tuition is too low to support fair compensation yet still too high for most families. "Blending and braiding funding" can help bridge the gap.

Important and sobering report on what the next Trump Admin could mean for NYC, including effects on education. Proud that @TCFdotorg research helped to inform this. Information is the first step in resistance.
Our latest report, "Protecting New York City," isn't a happy one. Instead, it gives New Yorkers a clear-eyed view of the threats an incoming Trump Administration poses to our city. We can't put up a fight if we don't identify what we're up against.
