Opinion: What Do Biden and Trump Counties Have in Common? High Poverty

Joel Berg | November 20, 2020

‘We need a clearheaded new approach, based on the reality that the majority of struggling Americans could climb out—and stay out—of poverty, but only with significant help.’

Opinion: How Domestic Hunger Became a Partisan Issue

Joel Berg | July 18, 2020

‘Most Democrats in Congress support increasing hunger funding while the vast majority of House Republicans, and most Senate Republicans, support such reductions. Hunger is now as partisan as gun control and abortion.’

Opinion: How We Can Eat, Rather than Dump, Our Dairy and Produce

Joel Berg and Dan Glickman | May 19, 2020

‘Food waste is troubling in the best of time, but given current hunger epidemic, it’s particularly shocking to see dairies dumping milk and farmers discarding good produce.’

Opinion: This Health Crisis is a Hunger Crisis, Too

Joel Berg | March 13, 2020

‘Unless government takes immediate, bold action, food-insecure Americans will be hit even harder, and their troubles will likely extend long beyond the life of the epidemic.’

Opinion: Congressional Action Against Hunger Could Save Kids—and Money

Marc Eisenberg, Suja Mathew and Joel Berg | November 5, 2019

‘Hunger is linked to a host of downstream negative physical, emotional, and social effects. Knowing this, how does America allow one in seven of our children to struggle with hunger?’

CityViews: New Trump Rule for Immigrants Both Heartless and Counter-Productive

Joel Berg | October 24, 2018

‘Make no mistake about it: If this proposal is implemented as proposed, it will increase poverty – and the worst symptoms of poverty such as hunger, homelessness, and early deaths – in New York City and nationwide.’

CityViews: De Blasio Can Fulfill his Progressive Promise by Retooling his Housing Plan

Joel Berg and Giselle Routhier | September 17, 2018

‘In many of the nation’s big cities, hunger and homelessness remain rampant. But given that Mayor de Blasio is enacting so many progressive policies to combat poverty, why are these problems still pervasive here?’

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

CityViews: Beyond Symbolism, Black Poverty Matters

Joel Berg | October 10, 2017

‘Condemning Neo-Nazis and Klansmen is (or at least should be) an easy first step. Yet, if we as a nation want to fully reject racism, we must commit ourselves to the proposition that every American is entitled to an equally long and healthy life.’

No BackSpace: It’s the Incessant Fundraising, Stupid (Why Big Money Dooms Democrats)

Joel Berg | February 1, 2017

‘Campaigning and governing is now indistinguishable from fundraising. The vast majority of e-mails and letters that I now receive from elected officials are either thinly veiled fundraising pitches or overt ones. The last e-mail I received from Obama as President was a fundraising pitch.’

No BackSpace: How the Left Can Stop Defeating Itself in 5 Easy Steps

Joel Berg | July 5, 2016

‘We should appeal to the nation’s fundamental altruism, explaining how all of us will benefit from a more inclusive America. Simply scapegoating the one percent just won’t cut it.’
