Welcome to "This Robin Hood Moment" with your hosts Crystal Cooper and Kevin Thompson. In this episode, we delve into the staggering findings of the latest Poverty Tracker Annual Report, jointly released by Robin Hood and Columbia University’s Center on Poverty and Social Policy. The report reveals a historic spike in poverty rates across New York City, with an additional 2 million residents plunging into poverty between 2021 and 2022 alone.
Join us as we unpack the factors contributing to this alarming trend, and offer insights from Robin Hood CEO Richard R. Buery, Jr., Columbia CPSP Director Christopher Wimer, and Robin Hood grantee Grand Street Settlement CEO Robert Cordero. From the unprecedented increase in child poverty by 66% to the disproportionate impact on communities of color, listeners will explore the socioeconomic landscape reshaped by the pandemic's aftermath. Through expert insights and personal anecdotes, we examine the policy implications and urgent calls for action to address the root causes of this burgeoning crisis.
Tune in for insightful discussions on shaping policies to uplift communities and #FightPoverty. Subscribe for more episodes wherever you listen to your podcasts.
