211 call centers have their pulse on the problems Americans are facing, especially ALICE who works but doesn't earn enough to support their family. Rachel Wolfe at the @WSJ does an amazing job highlighting the gap in our system #UnitedForALICE #211CT wsj.com/lifestyle/poverty-am…

33 years ago, the #ADA was signed. Yet despite progress, hurdles remain: Per a Fall 2022 Census survey, 31% of #peoplewithdisabilities unable to afford basics lacked food, compared to 11% of all respondents. United, we can drive meaningful change. United4ALICE.org/PWD #ADA33
