Week 7 Kristin Seefeldt

She was talking about how it is hard to move up but it is easy to move down. She talks about a specific group of people and that was African American women.  Often time race and poverty plays a very important part.  Families are often left in debt.  She talks about social abandonment.  This is discrimination  between black and white in reference to the housing market and upward mobility.

She talked about three policies.  The three policies are worker bill of rights, reforms to safety net, reparation (baby bonds).  The Worker Bill of Rights create better protection for workers.  They can have a voice regarding their hours and work schedules.  Reparations is dedicated to children.  This provide a savings account for children.  This is my favorite one because many people go in debt trying to pay for their child’s tuition.  The other policy was the reforms to the safety net.  It focuses on young woman experiencing upward mobility.
