I really do love interns - they give me hope for the future and remind me that the kids really are alright. This week, I’m particularly grateful for the Arnold Ventures summer interns who are leading service projects, including one for recently released justice-involved folks with professional wardrobes to help support employment. Y’all, policy change is long and hard, and too often SO distant from the people and communities we aim to benefit. I used to think it was either/or, and now I know it’s both/and. When I get proximate - whether through acts of service or building community and lived experience into my policy work - I learn. I see humans instead of just problems. I see assets alongside liabilities. And I am reminded how connected we all are.

Hospital systems are buying up physician practices and then charging more for the same care, including services like MRIs, allergy skin tests, and chemotherapy; all of which are safely performed in independent physician offices. This is wrong, and today Arnold Ventures is proud to join more than two dozen groups comprised of thought leaders, employers, physicians, and patient advocates to call on the United States Senate Committee on Finance to take action to protect patients from these higher costs.

Now, with the median launch list price of new drugs at over $180,000, many Americans are having to choose between their #health and their livelihoods. Now is the time to address the cost of prescription medications. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gGKCrNmd

📢 With support from Arnold Ventures, J-PAL North America is launching a new initiative to pair researchers with #criminaljustice organizations, and create new #evidence about what ideas and interventions actually work. As part of this initiative, J-PAL North America will act as a “matchmaker” between qualified CJ researchers and governments, nonprofits, and foundations that want to put the effectiveness of their promising CJ programs to the test. Read more in our interview with Vincent Quan, co-executive director of J-PAL North America, on how the organization’s new initiative will create high-quality #research that, in turn, can lead to more effective #policy interventions and improved outcomes for people, families, and communities: https://lnkd.in/gRQ5dgVH

In the final installment of our series profiling SSRC's new Criminal Justice Innovation Fellows, we spoke with Zachary Porreca, a postdoctoral fellow in the CLEAN unit at Università Bocconi in Milan, Italy, where he studies the economics of crime. As part of the new SSRC fellowship, Porreca plans to undertake several projects. Specifically, he'll study peer networks within state #prison systems, and how they predict a person’s peer networks in other facilities as they move through #prisonsystems as they serve their sentence. Separately, he plans to study the #labormarket impacts of programs that offer insurance policies to people who have recently been convicted of a crime, and whether that makes employers more likely to hire them.
