II want to talk about the big event of the month: the “Succession” series finale. OK, not really, but I do want to point you to another major event you may have missed. Our fourth annual 19th Represents Summit was a little over a week ago. This year, we were online and in Chicago, and we tackled three themes: tech, justice and economic mobility.
I want to focus on the last day, not only because we were able to gather with so many of you, but also because we were able to unpack a priority coverage area for us that left me with some really important takeaways that will continue to inform our reporting at The 19th.
The issue of economic mobility is one we’ve written about a lot here, from how it intersects with caregiving, to what it means for cities and states to give its residents a universal basic income, to how the federal government is addressing gender and racial inequality that is holding many Americans back financially. Our daylong programming brought together activists, philanthropists, and the public and private sector — as well as our audience —for robust discussions about what’s working, what’s missing and who is doing the work of making economic mobility real, particularly for marginalized communities.
