"Income inequity has risen beyond any imaginable logic, while policies that would feed and house all people are demonized as dangerous or risky. Political influence is being used to further hoard resources and advantages for billionaires, leaving more people to suffer than to benefit."
"Loving kindness is foundational to birth equity because it centers care, respect, and human dignity; it expands our imagination for what's possible by directly supporting population health and wellbeing."
"Nearly half of US families do not earn enough income to meet their basic needs. This raises a question: What might happen across our country if those working to make life better for our neighbors embraced the politics of 'loving kindness'?"
