I've been preoccupied with poverty for a long time. The first course I took as a college freshman was about poverty, as was the first course I taught as a professor. Today, I get to share some of what I've learned during all these years w/ my state Senate:

So much happening in the world. It's hard to feel like anything matters besides doing what we can to be a force for good (which I am). Despite this feeling insignificant in the larger scheme of things, I have a new paper out & I hope folks will read it:

Political Behavior - Economic risk and instability are urgent and central facts in the lives of increasing numbers of Americans. Though experienced as “personal,” the causes of life...

Check out this PBS NewsHour series on the social safety net. Glad I could contribute my perspective (starting around 2:49 mins), which very much centers on recognizing the ubiquity of economic need (over the life course) & the role of the safety net in meeting that need.

My first book, Fragmented Democracy, is nearly 6 years old. But Medicaid remains a pivotal institution shaping political life within marginalized communities. That's why I'm glad to see the book still cited & the public conversation still going.

Even if answering email were my only job, I would not be able to keep up with my inbox. Never mind that it should (ideally) take up only a small fraction of my time. This is impossible & I cannot understand why we designed this system. But if I owe you a reply, forgive me 🤷🏾‍♀️

Another important piece from @brycecovert who considers what happens when you build a stronger safety net only to then tear it down. My comments in the piece underscore the perspectives of people who experience this acutely (based on projects w/ @MPerezBrower & @sopolicyscholar ).

Why are Americans feeling so insecure in an economy that appears solid on paper? Maybe it's because the government created a robust safety net in the pandemic and then abruptly ripped it apart.

We find that personal crises are associated w/ reduced voter turnout, especially as crises compound. But such crisis do not appear to reduce other kinds of participation, they're instead associated w/ increases in non-voting acts like contacting a public official or protest.

I worked w/ co-authors Jake Haselswerdt & Christopher Ojeda to look at the pol upshots of personal crises. In the context of a political economy that is systematically producing crises (job loss, eviction, loss of health insurance, etc), what does this mean for pol participation?

We look at multiple surveys across numerous years and measure people's experiences of a range of crises. We consider not just individual crises, but the accumulation of them. And we think about how this is associated w/ both voting & other other forms of political participation.

The post-pandemic “unwinding” of Medicaid is leading to significant disenrollment & creating barriers to care for vulnerable populations. It’s bad for health & bad for democracy. @brycecovert vividly captures the issue & stakes in this piece👇🏾
