“At a time of intense debate about income inequality, [Madrick] puts a face—or millions of young faces—on the meaning of real poverty and deprivation.”
—Harvard Magazine, about Invisible Americans: The Tragic Cost of Child Poverty
The Invisible Americans Podcast, Inc. is inspired by the book Invisible Americans: The Tragic Cost of Child Poverty, written by our co-founder and co-president Jeff Madrick.
Our mission is to amplify the voices of those who are working to eradicate childhood poverty in our country, discuss solutions to the problems of poverty, and share the lived experiences of survivors of childhood poverty. A conventional, if shocking, estimate is that one in five American children lives in poverty. We argue this measure is inaccurate, and that the number is closer to two in five children. They experience lives of persistent hunger, inadequate education, crowded and dilapidated housing, inattention to medical treatments, and little faith for their future.
Together, we can end hunger and deprivation.
For four seasons, we heard Jeff Madrick’s calm presence behind the mic as he guided conversations about the topic that has been the subject of his storied career.
We wish him the best of luck as he steps out of the studio. He remains the co-founder and co-president of the 501(c)(3) The Invisible Americans Podcast, Inc.
We will continue his mission with our new cohost, David Ambroz, national poverty and child welfare expert.
We hope to make you proud as we uplift and amplify the voices of those struggling in this country.
The Invisible Americans Podcast, Inc is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
