Rent Responsibly’s Post

Every point in right on target. They all will be in play when the Congress gets the opportunity to finalize review of HR 4052, the creation of the Nation’s fifth National Infrastructure Bank and a surprise matching bill within the senate coming very soon. #nationalinfrastructurebank

The recent distribution of an offensive flyer by the Australian Greens at the Fullarton Market in Adelaide is a stark reminder of the party's disregard for family-friendly values. The flyer, emblazoned with the phrase "Unf*** the future," not only uses vulgar language but also sets a troubling precedent for what is considered acceptable in political discourse. It is deeply concerning that the Greens are indifferent to the potential exposure of children to such explicit language. This flyer, reportedly handed out by a Greens representative, demonstrates a shocking lack of consideration for families and the impressionable minds of young children who may come across this material. Family First strongly believes in preserving the sanctity of public spaces and the integrity of political communication. The use of obscene language not only tarnishes the image of the political landscape but also reflects poorly on the values and principles of the party responsible. It is unacceptable that a political party would resort to such coarse tactics to garner attention and support. Moreover, the Greens' flyer perpetuates a pessimistic and fear-mongering narrative, suggesting that the future is irreparably damaged unless drastic measures are taken. This approach not only undermines constructive debate but also instils unnecessary fear and anxiety, particularly among young people. Political parties should focus on offering hopeful and practical solutions rather than resorting to alarmist and inappropriate messaging. It is imperative that the Greens apologise for this lapse in judgment and commit to engaging in respectful and appropriate discourse moving forward. Family First calls on the Greens to ensure their communications are always suitable for children. Political parties have a responsibility to uphold the standards of our society, and the use of foul language is a clear violation of this trust. READ MORE: Go to the Family First Party website.

Economic Security Project’s Guaranteed Income Now (#GINow) Conference in Detroit wrapped up this evening. Its purpose? To celebrate, strategize, and learn with leaders, advocates, and innovators in the guaranteed basic income and unrestricted cash space. It was incredible to: 💡Be in community with those who hold highly and dearly the belief of the inherent value of an individual and the values of dignity and freedom for all. 💡Think about GBI and unrestricted cash as a model for reparations, given the historical context of racist and oppressive policies that have allowed the cycle of poverty to continue in Black and brown communities. 💡Hear people share their stories as caregivers and child of immigrants, and urge all who will listen to follow the lead of impacted people with lived expertise. 💡Hear charismatic leaders speak authentically and unapologetically about the possibility and power of unrestricted cash. 💡Continue the conversation about the intersection of Reproductive Justice, Cash Assistance, Housing, Health, and more….because it is after all, intersectional. 💡Unexpectedly connect with new and old friends and colleagues alike. 💡Be a visitor in Detroit. I leave this convening with continued inspiration to work towards the goal of unrestricted cash for people to not only live, but to thrive as they want and decide to. See below to learn more about the conference.

We're falling behind other states, and leaving money on the table. 💸 The passing of SB1026 would bring significant economic activity to our state, bolster job creation, attract talent, and enhance our state's tourism industry. Everybody wins—which is why this bill has garnered enthusiastic bipartisan sponsorship. It is URGENT that Wisconsinites lift their voices in support of this important initiative.

When a major biennial event is on the track for failure, the best approach is to bring in someone who can salvage as much as possible and stem the financial and reputational losses that the organization is on track to incur.

Tough cuts were made this legislative session, and many programs benefiting our state's children landed on the chopping block 😔. Investing in our children’s future should always be a top priority. As we look ahead to the next session, it's time to rally together and ensure the wellbeing of our kids is no longer short-changed. Their potential must be nurtured, not negotiated. Check out our legislative recap to learn more about what happened (and didn’t happen) for Utah kids this session: https://lnkd.in/gN_9zq73
