"At the Hospital of Central Connecticut, Nolan Osiel Osorio Ramirez was born, weighing 7lbs. 13.6oz. At that moment, the Connecticut state treasurer's office invested money on behalf of Nolan for his future." Last year, Connecticut became the first state in the country to pass and implement a #BabyBonds program which officially took effect on July 1st. Now, there is increasing momentum behind this landmark policy. By investing funds at birth, Baby Bonds is a structural solution that addresses a root cause of the wealth divide - wealth itself. That's why the GRO Fund is working alongside The New School to bring Baby Bonds to life in Georgia through our accelerated pilot program. If fully funded, our pilot will provide young people with a #GuaranteedIncome AND a Baby Bond, pairing income to support them today with the resources needed to build wealth tomorrow.

Juneteenth marks a pivotal moment in our history, commemorating the day the remaining enslaved Americans learned of their freedom, two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Still, the continuing impacts of slavery persist to this day, manifesting as economic disparities and systemic inequalities. We know true freedom extends beyond civil liberties — without economic freedom, our freedoms remain incomplete. What does true freedom mean to you? #FreedomDay #Juneteenth #EconomicFreedom
