👋 “Public policy is the letter we write to our children.”
U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia spoke those words at the Aspen Forum on Children and Families I attended last month. The occasion was the launch of Ascend at the Aspen Institute’s Forward With Families vision of how policy can better support health, stability, and economic opportunity.
The Senator’s observation is a powerful reminder that the choices we make as a society — what we prioritize, what we fund, the challenges we decide to take on — shape not just what happens today, but the futures of families for generations.
