Unleashing Opportunity: Why Escaping Poverty Requires a Shared Vision of Justice

In Unleashing Opportunity: Why Escaping Poverty Requires a Shared Vision of Justice, Michael Gerson, Stephanie Summers and Katie Thompson explore five key issues that are taking a disproportionate and devastating toll on low-income Americans.

Topics include:

• The Importance of Early Childhood

• The Foster Care to Trafficking Pipeline

• Juvenile Justice Reform

• The Graduation Gap

• Predatory Payday Lending

For each topic, Gerson puts a lens on the magnitude of the problem, Summers applies a public justice framework for considering solutions, and Thompson tells the story of real Americans who have experienced these issues first hand.
