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…

The @WSJ highlights a reality that often goes unnoticed, but that 211 emergency helpline operators have come to know all too well: more people, known as ALICE, are living close to #poverty than the poverty level might suggest. bit.ly/49uLNSm @UnitedWayCT #UnitedForALICE

During heat waves, delivery drivers risk their health to bring customers everything from restaurant take-out to commercial laundry. And nearly one-third of them can’t even make ends meet. Learn more about dedicated ALICE workers: unitedforalice.org/labor-for…

Amidst the summer’s record-setting temps, our nation’s delivery drivers have worked hard in the extreme heat to bring customers everything from restaurant takeout to commercial laundry. Yet many of them can’t even afford basics. Learn more: UnitedForALICE.org/National-… #UnitedForALICE

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

No matter what you have planned for the #FourthofJuly, remember the food stand workers, carnival ride operators/game attendants, cashiers & the countless other ALICE workers who will show up that day, making it all run smoothly. #July4th #UnitedForALICE UnitedForALICE.org

(2/2) As #PrideMonth ends, we ask you to advocate for more accurate data collection by the @uscensusbureau for the LGBTQ+ community, who have been historically undercounted. The more thorough our research, the brighter the future for all ALICE households. UnitedForALICE.org

(1/2) #UnitedForALICE's ultimate goal is to spark ideas and inform decisions that will help bring ALICE families closer to financial stability. Members of these ALICE families span all backgrounds – including all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Replying to @NjData
@NjData explains that with little to no help available, it can be easy for these families to fall into debt and feel perpetually stuck. That’s where a movement like United for ALICE comes in. ow.ly/9k5g50OzZwB

"Service workers play a vital role in American society. Yet many say they’re hanging on by a thread as pandemic restrictions ease." The warning signs outlined in #UnitedForALICE's "ALICE in the Crosscurrents" Report are clear. It's up to us to heed them. bit.ly/3IUcdCL

NJ residents Cherry and her husband earn above the poverty level, yet not enough to make ends meet. They are ALICE. Cherry and #UnitedForALICE National Director @NjData discuss the challenges that ALICE faces in this @ViewpointsRadio interview: bit.ly/3IVOeCZ #ALICE2023
