Becky Vlamis believes truth telling plays an instrumental role in systemic change. Her curiosity drew her to a career in public radio, where, for 10 years, she produced and directed news programs for WBEZ and NPR. She co-ran a home inspection business for another decade, handling operations, financials, and communications.
In 2023, she pivoted to the advocacy space to make a broader impact. As the Communications Manager for the Shriver Center on Poverty Law, she oversees the organization’s website. She also writes content that uplifts the Shriver Center’s advocacy work, trainings, and events. Becky is a proud mom and graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In her free time, she volunteers for a parrot rescue and is an occasional sophisti-pop DJ.
As difficult as that feels, ending poverty is ultimately a policy choice. We already know that measures like the child tax credit and progressive taxation can lift all boats. As we head toward Election Day, we must remember that when we center poverty in our politics, we all win.
