The Growing Resilience in Tacoma (GRIT) program, which provided $500 monthly payments to 110 families, is helping reshape traditional narratives that have long portrayed poverty as a result of personal failings or suggested that direct cash assistance leads to dependency. &amp;nbsp; Join Crystal for a conversation about guaranteed income and GRIT with Sukhi Samra, Executive Director of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income, Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards, and Dona Ponepinto of United Way of Pierce County. &amp;nbsp; As always, a full text transcript of the show is available at officialhacksandwonks.com. &amp;nbsp; Follow us on Bluesky at @HacksAndWonks.
