In a February 20th editorial, Convergence Collaborative on Supports for Working Families participant, Helene Stebbins, outlines her hopes for the future of family flourishing and her experience with coming to a consensus across differences writing,
“All of us who worked on these recommendations believe there is broad consensus around these principles, but we will only achieve the policy recommendations included in this blueprint if we reach across partisan, geographic, and organizational divides.
My deep respect and thanks to the team at Convergence and to Abby McCloskey, the Director of the Convergence Collaborative on Supports for Working Families, and to the Packard Foundation for supporting this conversation. I hope you’ll join us in changing the narrative and building consensus among policymakers to take action.”
