What would happen if we designed society to make resources easy for everyone to get?

@anthony_barrows tells his own story & talks abt the uncontrollable life lotteries (birth, looks, etc.) & untapped potential of a world founded on universal deservedness.

⚠️Harmful narratives harm people.

Central to @anthony_barrows & @ideas42's work is changing false poverty narratives to shift support for effective social policies and programs that actually address poverty’s root causes.

Next: How do I actually center these voices? Hear @anthony_barrows's advice @ 7:01.▶️⬇️

It’s hard to be poor - it’s costly, logically challenging, & physically debilitating.
@ideas42 presents #behavioralscience and #2Gen informed principles to move children and families out of poverty in their seminal report "Poverty Interrupted.” Download: ideas42.org/project/povert…

"The evidence tells us that generosity is good policy."

“If any one of us deserves help, every one of us deserves help. This means we must have a new understanding of deservedness."
