Eradicating Childhood Poverty with the Dads Caucus and Hearts of Gold | Rep. Dan Goldman & Deborah Koenigsberger


Listen Later

Everyone can do their part to eradicate childhood poverty. Dads need to champion policies related to supporting families, and anyone can contribute their time, treasure, or talent to help local nonprofits serving the unhoused.

Our guests:

  • Representative Dan Goldman (NY-10)
  • Deborah Koenigsberger, founder of Hearts of Gold and the Thrifty HoG
  • Rep. Goldman discusses his work founding the first Dads Caucus and highlights why policies like the Child Tax Credit are both compassionate solutions and financially sound decisions for our country.

    Deborah tells listeners how Stevie Wonder, Bobbi Brown, and Madison Park came together to get her inspired to kick off three decades of work helping unhoused mothers and children in New York City.
