SUMMARY:CHN’s 16th Annual Human Needs Hero Reception
DESCRIPTION:Honoring: Marian Wright Edelman and Peter Edelman\nEvery year\, the Coalition on Human Needs gathers advocates\, from neophytes to veterans with decades of experience\, to celebrate our community’s steadfast commitment to standing up for the most vulnerable in our society. And there is much to celebrate: We’ve stood up against harmful cuts to programs like SNAP and succeeded in increasing funding for human needs programs; fought for a fair and accurate Census; resisted attacks on immigrants; and much more. \nOf course\, these accomplishments are only possible thanks to the tireless work of the generations of change-makers who have come before us. That’s why we are especially thrilled to honor Marian Wright Edelman and Peter Edelman for their historic contributions to advancing the cause of the most needy\, spending decades advocating for those who need an advocate the most. \nWe’re hoping you and/or your organization will sponsor the event and be listed in invitations and our program. This is our only in-person fundraising event of the year and all proceeds raised go to supporting the work of the Coalition on Human Needs. \nFor more information and to sponsor: Click here for our Human Needs Hero event page!

SUMMARY:Economic Policy Institute: "Zero Weeks: America’s Leave Crisis and the Cost of Doing Nothing"
DESCRIPTION:Most Americans agree that family comes first. No matter where you work or what zip code you live in\, you should be able to welcome a new child\, to care for your mother when she has her knee replaced or to heal from cancer without facing financial disaster. \nAnd yet in 2016\, only 14 percent of private sector workers in the U.S. reported having paid family leave through an employer; less than 40 percent have personal medical leave through an employer-provided temporary disability program. The United States and Papua New Guinea are the only countries in the world without a paid leave law. Because 44 percent of American households don’t have enough savings to cover their basic expenses for three months\, families are often forced to choose between taking time off to care for a partner or parent with an unexpected medical emergency or continuing to work so that they can keep their job and health insurance. The crisis is just as bleak for new mothers. Nearly 1 in 4 mothers return to work within two weeks of having a baby. Without the protections of paid leave\, new mothers are 40% more likely to need food stamps or public assistance. \nWeaving powerful stories together with insightful interviews with leading policymakers\, economists\, researchers\, and activists\, Zero Weeks lays out a compelling argument for guaranteed paid leave for every American worker. The film looks at paid leave from an emotional\, medical\, financial and global perspective. \nOnce a fringe issue\, paid leave is now central to the national debate. The issue is not just political\, it’s smart economics. Three states that have implemented their own policies—California\, New Jersey and Rhode Island—have experienced greater economic stability. Companies like Google\, which provide over 16 weeks of paid leave\, have seen their rates of attrition fall by 50%. Paid leave is not just good for families\, relationships\, and the health of seniors\, parents and children\, but it is beneficial for business and our nation’s ability to compete on a global scale. \nJoin the Economic Policy Institute on Thursday\, May 16\, for a screening of Zero Weeks\, a movie that chronicles the deep financial and emotional distress caused by America’s shameful lack of paid leave in the workplace \nThe screening will begin at 3:30 p.m.\, with introductory remarks from EPI Senior Economist Elise Gould\, Director of Family Values @ Work Ellen Bravo\, and the film’s director\, Ky Dickens. The movie will start promptly at 4 p.m. Snacks and beverages will be served during the film and a brief reception will follow the screening. \n  \nWhat: Screening of “Zero Weeks: America’s Leave Crisis and the Cost of Doing Nothing” \nWhen: Thursday\, May 16\n3:30 p.m Eastern \nWho: EPI Senior Economist Elise Gould\nDirector of Family Values @ Work Ellen Bravo\nDirector Ky Dickens \nWhere: The Economic Policy Institute\n1225 I Street NW\, Sixth floor\nWashington\, DC 20005

SUMMARY:IPS Brown Bag: Activists & Poets Against Walls
DESCRIPTION:In this multimedia brown bag session\, independent DACA activist Allyson Duarte and Poets Against Walls co-founder Emmy Pérez will talk about recent activism in the Rio Grande Valley in support of borderland communities. They will share video footage of speech clips and poetry performances to introduce some of the intersectional work they are involved in. Poets Against Walls is a collective of poets with a DIY philosophy that aims to amplify and help document borderland poetry\, testimonio\, and the spoken word to help counter mainstream depictions of the borderlands. Allyson Duarte’s work and advocacy commitments emphasize the need to seek solutions beyond whatever policy measures can achieve through the limited scope of party politics\, which is almost always defined by gridlock that is rooted in private interests. \nAllyson Duarte is a DACA recipient and proud resident of the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas. She currently resides in DC and is pursuing graduate studies at American University. Her advocacy efforts revolve primarily around immigration in border communities\, but she has also partaken in efforts related to education\, LGBTQ+\, and environmental issues. Allyson is emphatic about the need to supersede advocacy and organizing modes that find reliance on America’s two-party electoral system. \nEmmy Pérez poetry collections include With the River on Our Face and Solstice. Her work also appears in anthologies such as Ghost Fishing: An Eco-Justice Poetry Anthology\, Other Musics: New Latina Poetry\, and What Saves Us: Poems of Empathy and Outrage in the Age of Trump. She is a past recipient of poetry fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, CantoMundo\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts\, as well as a member of the Macondo Writers’ Workshop for socially engaged writers. She grew up in Santa Ana\, California\, where she recently received LibroMobile’s inaugural Modesta Avila Award\, and for the past 18 years has lived in the Texas borderlands. Currently\, she is Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and serves as Associate Director for the Center for Mexican American Studies. She currently serves on the organizing committee for CantoMundo national literary organization and co-founded Poets Against Walls. \nCo-Sponsored by Split This Rock and the Institute for Policy Studies\, this  event is presented as part of “What Is It\, Then\, Between Us?: Poetry & Democracy\,” an annual programming initiative of the Poetry Coalition.

SUMMARY:FRAC: MARCH 2019 Breakfast Matters Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Making Community Eligibility Work with Lower ISPs \nCommunity eligibility is a federal option that allows high poverty schools to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students. Schools can participate in community eligibility as long as 40 percent of the enrolled students are automatically eligible to receive free school meals—typically by way of direct certification. Thousands of schools across the nation have adopted community eligibility with ISPs between 40 and 60 percent and are finding that it can help improve their school nutrition finances\, while increasing the number of students experiencing the educational and health benefits linked to eating school meals. . Now is the time to start planning for community eligibility implementation for the 2019-2020 school year. Join this webinar to learn about the strategies and resources available for making community eligibility work at schools with ISPs between 40 and 60 percent. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:First Focus: Cutting Child Poverty in Half Within a Decade: A Congressional Briefing
DESCRIPTION:First Focus: Cutting Child Poverty in Half Within a Decade: A Congressional Briefing\nHosted by the U.S. Child Poverty Action Group\, First Focus\, the American Academy of Pediatrics \, and the National Prevention Science Coalition to Improve Lives\, in collaboration with Congresswoman Barbara Lee\, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard\, and Congressman Danny Davis  \nChildren continue to disproportionately experience poverty in the United States\, and are 62 percent more likely to experience poverty than adults. Yet while the U.S. child poverty rate remains stubbornly high\, there is no long-term national strategy\, or even a national dialogue\, to address child poverty in the U.S. and the negative outcomes associated with it. We know it does not have to be this way. When countries prioritize their children\, it results in lower child poverty rates and improved economic outcomes for all of society. \nIn response to a mandate from Congress\, the National Academies of Science\, Engineering\, and Medicine released a landmark consensus study on child poverty in the United States. This study included analysis of the economic\, health\, and social costs of child poverty to our society\, as well as the effectiveness of current anti-poverty programs–including international\, federal\, state\, and local efforts–to reduce child poverty. Based on this analysis\, the study committee issued a set of evidence-based policy recommendations about how to cut the national child poverty rate in half within a decade. \nConcurrent with the release of this study\, the U.S. Child Poverty Action Group\, a partnership of over 20 national organizations\, launched a national campaign\, End Child Poverty U.S.\, to garner collective action in calling upon the federal government to make child poverty a priority through setting a national target to cut our child poverty rate in half within 10 years. \nPlease join the U.S. Child Poverty Action Group\, First Focus\, the American Academy of Pediatrics\, and the National Prevention Science Coalition To Improve Lives for a Congressional briefing\, Cutting Child Poverty in Half Within a Decade\, to hear from leading experts on this new landmark study and learn how Members of Congress and other stakeholders can utilize its findings to reduce child poverty and its negative consequences in the United States. \nOpening Remarks \n\nBruce Lesley\, President\, First Focus Campaign for Children\n\nModerator \n\nJohn K. Roman\, Ph.D.\, Senior Fellow\, Economics\, Justice and Society Group\, NORC\, University of Chicago and Co-Director of the National Prevention Science Coalition to Improve Lives\n\nPanelists \n\nChristine-James Brown\, President and CEO\, Child Welfare League of America and NAS Study Committee Member\, Building an Agenda to Reduce the Number of Children in Poverty by Half in 10 Years\nDr. Benard Dreyer\, Professor of Pediatrics and Director of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics\, NYU School of Medicine\, Director of Pediatrics\, Bellevue Hospital Center\, Past President of the American Academy of Pediatrics\, NAS Study Committee Member\, Building an Agenda to Reduce the Number of Children in Poverty by Half in 10 Years\nDr. Angela Diaz MD\, PhD\, Director\, Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center and Professor\, Department of Pediatrics\, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

SUMMARY:The Trump Budget: What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:The Trump Budget: What You Need to Know\nThursday\, March 14th\n2 P.M. EDT\, 1 P.M. CDT\, 12 P.M. MDT\, 11 A.M. PDT\nRegister Here\nEven if you can’t attend\, you should register to get access to the webinar recording with captions\, slides\, and follow-up information.  \nEach year\, the President is mandated by law to submit a proposed federal budget to Congress. The budget states the President’s priorities. For the Trump Administration\, that means cuts to human needs programs and big Pentagon increases. This year\, we expect the proposed budget will be released the week of March 11th.  \nThe Coalition on Human Needs is hosting a webinar to tell you what you need to know about the Trump budget and the work ahead for better alternatives in Congress. One of the biggest issues: will Congress lift looming spending caps that will slash domestic programs by about 10 percent? We’ve already heard that the President wants to make deep cuts in domestic appropriations while dramatically increasing funds for the Pentagon. Advocates need to know how to prevent those cuts\, how to fight against cuts to basic needs programs like Medicaid or SNAP\, and how to advance real improvements in the services we need. On this webinar\, you’ll find out more about the spending caps and how the President’s proposals will affect low- and moderate-income people through likely cuts to Medicaid\, SNAP\, housing\, help for people with disabilities\, education and job training\, social services\, and public health programs. And you’ll learn about opportunities to protect and expand human needs programs as Congress takes up the FY 2020 budget. \nSpeakers:\nSharon Parrott: Sharon is Senior Fellow and Senior Counselor at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. A preeminent expert on federal budget and anti-poverty policy\, Sharon served for two years as Associate Director for the Education\, Income Maintenance\, and Labor (EIML) Division at the Office of Management and Budget within the Obama Administration. \nDeborah Weinstein:  Debbie is Executive Director of the Coalition on Human Needs. In her 16 years at CHN\, she has focused on educating advocates about how to engage in critical federal budget choices on behalf of low-income people. \nAccessibility Assistance:\nThe webinar will be captioned. The webinar will also be recorded\, and all registrants will get the recording link with captions\, slides\, and follow-up information. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:FRAC: CEP 30-Minute-Deep-Dive
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Relationship between Community Eligibility and Title I Funding \nCommunity eligibility is an amazing federal option that allows high poverty schools to offer breakfast and lunch at no cost to all students while eliminating the free and reduced-price school meal application. Many school districts have questions regarding how to measure student poverty for Title I funding purposes at community eligibility schools in the absence of collecting this form from families. Join FRAC for this 30-minute webinar to learn what you need to know about community eligibility implementation and measuring poverty for Title I and the resources available to assist school districts with planning for community eligibility implementation. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:CEPR: Screening of "I\, A Black Woman\, Resist"
DESCRIPTION:March 11\, 2019\n3:00 PM \nHosts:\nRep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Raúl Grijalva \nSponsors:\nThe Center for Economic and Policy Research\, the Washington Office on Latin America and the U.S. Network for Democracy in Brazil.\n \nLocation:\nRayburn House Office Building\, Washington\, DC\nRoom 2325 \nPlease join us for a screening of the short documentary “I\, A Black Woman\, Resist” followed by a discussion with two leading experts on racism and feminism in Brazil about the life and legacy of Afro-Brazilian leader Marielle Franco\, a staunch critic of police brutality and state-sanctioned violence who was assassinated on March 14\, 2018. \nDeeply rooted in the longstanding tradition of Black Feminist activism in Brazil\, Marielle Franco dedicated herself to speaking truth to power and to uplifting and empowering marginalized communities in Brazil up until the final moments of her life. Featuring a first-hand account from Dr. Barber of the last event that Marielle attended at Casa das Pretas (Black Women’s House) on the night of her assassination\, this short documentary seeks to raise awareness\, build consciousness\, and facilitate dialogue around the necessity of transnational solidarity in the fight against racism and the global struggle for Black Lives. \nCo-Director Dr. Sharrelle Barber will speak and answer questions about her inspiration to create this documentary that bears witness to Marielle Franco’s life. Dr. Gladys Mitchell-Walthour will discuss the broader context of human rights and democracy in Brazil and the status of the Afro-Brazilian rights movement at this challenging juncture in the country’s history. \nPlease RSVP and direct questions to Marilyn.Zepeda@mail.house.gov.

SUMMARY:Protect Immigrant Families Rapid Response Webinar
DESCRIPTION:View an archive of this webinar here. \nOn September 22nd\, the Department of Homeland Security publicized a proposed rule change that would make using health\, anti-hunger\, anti-poverty\, or affordable housing programs a disqualifier for some immigrants\, putting millions of families at risk. The proposed Public Charge rule would punish immigrants going through official immigration processes and their families for applying for or receiving benefits for which they are legally eligible. \nOnce the proposed rule change is published\, there will be a 60 day period for the public to leave comments. The Coalition on Human Needs is hosting a webinar on on behalf of our partners at the Center for Law and Social Policy and the National Immigration Law Center. On this webinar\, you’ll find out what you need to know about the public charge rule\, why this change is so dangerous\, and what we can do about it.
