SUMMARY:EITC/CTC Call-in Day of Action
DESCRIPTION:Right now\, Congress is looking to add bipartisan tax legislation to the end-of-year budget package. It is imperative that if there is any tax legislation helping businesses and the rich that we also do what we can to help low-wage workers. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC) help working families and individuals better provide for basic needs. These two tax credits together lifted 8.9 million people out of poverty in 2018\, and helped millions more\, and with improvements they can do more to alleviate poverty and help low-income families keep up with the increasing cost of living. \nOn November 6th please call: 1-888-678-9475 \nWhen you do you will be connected with your Senator’s DC office. When you are connected please ask the receptionist who answers your call to share this message with your Senator and their lead tax staff person: \n“Any tax package that passes this year must include improvements to the low-income tax credits: the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit.” \nMore Background: The overwhelming beneficiaries of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) are corporations and wealthy individuals while largely ignoring low-wage workers\, whose wages have been stagnant  in recent decades\, and their families. Congress will likely add a bipartisan package of tax provisions to end-of-year budget legislation including ‘technical corrections’ for business provisions in the TCJA. Those corrections will add more tax breaks worth billions for business. Senators need to hear from us now that any tax package must help low-income workers. \nThe 2017 law included a highly touted $1\,000-per-child increase in the CTC (from $1\,000 to $2\,000 per child). However\, low-income working families with 11.4 million children are receiving only a token CTC increase of $75 or less. The reason is because under the 2017 law the CTC doesn’t start to phase in until a tax filer has more than $2\,500 in earnings\, and it then phases in slowly. And if a family’s CTC would exceed the federal income tax it owes the family cannot receive more than $1\,400 per child as a tax refund. \nThe EITC for low-wage workers who aren’t raising children in their home is often too small even to offset the income and payroll taxes that these workers must pay\, and doesn’t cover workers of all ages. That’s the main reason why the federal tax code taxes more than 5 million such workers into or deeper into poverty. Despite longstanding bipartisan support to boost the EITC for these workers\, the 2017 tax-cut law failed to include it.

SUMMARY:Economic Policy Institute: The Future of Work and Care
DESCRIPTION:The National Academy of Social Insurance\, with support from Caring Across Generations and the Ford Foundation\, recently released a groundbreaking report on Designing Universal Family Care: State-Based Social Insurance Programs for Early Child Care and Education\, Paid Family and Medical Leave\, and Long-Term Services and Supports. The report explores strategies that states could pursue to better support families in meeting evolving care needs over the lifespan. This analysis was developed over a year of deliberations by a Study Panel of 29 experts in care policy from a variety of perspectives. \nIn this symposium\, Alexandra Bradley (Lead Policy Analyst on the Academy Study Panel) and Benjamin Veghte (Study Panel Director and now Research Director at Caring Across Generations) will identify gaps in our care infrastructure and policy options developed by the Study Panel to address them. Elise Gould (Senior Economist at EPI) will discuss her recently co-authored study on value-based budgeting for California’s early care and education system. And Robert Espinoza (Vice President of Policy at PHI) will report on his research on the relation between quality direct care jobs and quality long-term care and propose standards for direct care jobs and workforce policy. \nA light lunch will be served. Your RSVP will help us prepare. \nCo-hosted by: Economic Policy Institute\, the National Academy of Social Insurance\, and Caring Across Generations\nWhat: Symposium on strategies to meet families’ evolving care needs. \nWho: Alexandra Bradley\, Caregiving Study Panel project\nBenjamin Veghte\, Caring Across Generations\nElise Gould\, Economic Policy Institute\nRobert Espinoza\, PHI\n \nWhen: Wednesday\, November 6\n12 p.m.–1:30 p.m. Eastern \nWhere: Economic Policy Institute\n1225 I St. NW\, Suite 600

SUMMARY:Hill Event on proposed Social Security Cuts 01/28/20 11:00am-12:00pm
DESCRIPTION:Please join The Arc of the United States\, Center for American Progress\, Community Legal Services of Philadelphia\, Little Lobbyists\, Shriver Center for Poverty Law\, and Social Security Works next Tuesday\, January 28\, from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.. ET for briefing on the Proposed Rule on Continuing Disability Reviews.  \nJanuary 28\, 2020  \n11:00 am-12:00 pm  \n385 Russell Senate Office Building \nThe Trump administration is attacking Social Security and demanding that 2.6 million people with disabilities fill out complex and unnecessary paperwork and cutting benefits. If the administration’s rule is enacted\, we’re facing a $2.6 billion cut by 2029 to Social Security benefits for people with disabilities and chronic conditions\, including seniors\, children\, and people with cancer. The administration is increasing the number of onerous continuing disability reviews and resurrecting the playbook of the 1980s when a dramatic increase in random reviews lead to tens of thousands of people losing their lives. These cuts to the Social Security program resulted in a massive outcry from the public and both chambers of Congress and were repealed. As we did back then\, we will fight back. Join us to tell the Administration that we will support NO SOCIAL SECURITY CUTS! \nParticipants: Members of Congress\, People with Disabilities\, Family Members\, Experts on Social Security \nThe event will be livestreamed at https://www.facebook.com/socialsecurityworks \nPlease contact rcokley@americanprogress.org  with any questions or accessibility needs or concerns. \nPromote on Twitter using #NoSocialSecurityCuts\n \nNote from CHN:  \nYou can still comment in opposition to this proposed rule – Deadline: Friday\, January 31 at midnight.  \nBackground and simple links to submit comments are here.

SUMMARY:FRAC: National Day of Action
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, April 22\, join the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC)\, Feeding America\, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP)\, Center for American Progress (CAP)\, and other national allies and advocates across the country in a National Day of Action urging Congress and the Administration to enact SNAP benefit boosts in the next COVID-19 relief package. Recent reports indicate that the next package would include assistance for businesses and healthcare efforts\, but not SNAP — we must insist that individuals and families need immediate relief\, too. \nThe next COVID-19 relief bill must include the following SNAP priorities: \n1. boost SNAP maximum benefits by 15 percent;\n2. increase the minimum SNAP benefit from $16 to $30; and\n3. suspend all SNAP administrative rules that would terminate or cut benefits. \nThese temporary provisions must continue until the economy improves. The provisions will not only help households put food on the table during this crisis\, but will also help to stimulate the economy. \nCheck out FRAC’s COVID-19 Updates page for more resources on the Day of Action\, which will be added leading up to Wednesday. \nGet vocal on social: Join FRAC\, Feeding America\, CBPP\, and CAP for a Twitterstorm this Wednesday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. EDT as part of the Day of Action. \nClick to tweet: On Wed\, 4/22 @3PM EDT\, join @fractweets\, our national partners and other advocates for a Day of Action Twitterstorm urging Congress and the Administration to boost SNAP benefits and help families put food on the table during #COVID19. bit.ly/fracCOVID-19

SUMMARY:YWCA Stand Against Racism National Tele-Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Voting rights\, census participation\, and civic engagement are\, and have always been\, essential to racial justice. As the COVID-19 pandemic disrupts all aspects of life\, it is also exacerbating the impact of systemic and structural racism on communities of color across health\, education\, justice\, and economic sectors. In this moment\, our collective efforts to secure full access at the ballot box\, to ensure a fair and complete Census count\, and to stand against racism—whenever and wherever it happens—are more important than ever. \nDuring YWCA’s annual Stand Against Racism campaign\, we are thrilled to be hosting a National Tele-Town Hall with our partners: Black Women’s Roundtable\, League of Women Voters\, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights\, National Domestic Workers Alliance\, Supermajority\, United State of Women\, and When We All Vote. Together we will: \n\nExplore the issues with national leaders in the movement for racial justice and gender equity\nLearn best practices and build skills  for effective civic engagement amidst social distancing\nMotivate and inspire our nationwide networks for the work of racial justice\n\nJoin us!

SUMMARY:Mass Poor People’s Digital Assembly & Moral March on Washington
DESCRIPTION:Let’s Stand Together in a Time of Emergency: The Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March – ONLINE – Saturday\, June 20 \nThis pandemic and economic collapse\, along with the recent wave of police brutality and racist murders\, have forced this nation into an unprecedented season of crisis and action. The harshness of this emergency results from a deeper and much longer-term crisis\, of systemic racism and inequality. The extra burden of death inflicted on Black victims of the coronavirus is a painful legacy of our nations’ racism. In fact\, 14\,400 more Black Americans would be alive if they died at the same rate from COVID-19 as White Americans. But even before the pandemic\, discrimination and deeper poverty visited upon communities of color have created harm that we must work together to end. \nThis is a time that calls for us to join together\, and empower the leadership emerging from poor and dispossessed people that is paving the way forward. And the Poor People’s Campaign has convened a historic\, unprecedented digital event to lift these voices. \nThe Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington is a 2.5 hour program that will be broadcast on Saturday\, June 20th at 10am ET. There will be rebroadcasts at 6pm ET\, and again on Sunday June 21st at 6pm ET\, at June2020.org. Join CHN and our friends at the Poor People’s Campaign by registering here. \nWe cannot stress this enough: The June 20 digital rally will be an online rally without precedent. We are coming together to demand that the millions of poor and low-income people in our nation — from every race\, creed\, gender\, sexuality and place — are no longer ignored\, dismissed or pushed to the margins of our political and social agenda. Poor and low-income leaders will touch on a host of issues from healthcare to systemic racism\, voting rights\, housing\, water\, education\, war and peace\, and more. You’ll hear from some movement leaders with a history of supporting these causes. And to top it all off you’ll hear some great music from people around the country. \nThere are so many ways to get involved: By registering\, you can take a selfie to have yourself included among thousands of others; your members of Congress will get an invite to join; and you’ll learn about voter registration opportunities and how to get involved in this movement for the long haul. \nRegister for June 20\, 2020 here and tune in for the broadcast on June 20 at 10 AM ET. You can also watch the rebroadcasts at 6 PM ET or on June 21 at 6 PM ET at June2020.org.

SUMMARY:CHN's 17th Annual Human Needs Hero Reception
DESCRIPTION:Thank you so much to everyone who helped make our 17th Human Needs Hero event such a success! Did you miss the sponsorship deadline but would still like to support? Please contact Nicolai Haddal at nhaddal@chn.org \nHonoring: Census Counts\, Count All Kids\, and Protecting Immigrant Families!\nOur first ever virtual Human Needs Hero will be held on Zoom this year! \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. This year\, in spite of the tremendous upending of our lives by the pandemic\, we’ve continued to stand up as a human needs community for the same priorities we’ve always held dear. So\, while we cannot come together physically\, we’re embracing the opportunity to bring even more folks into the fold virtually. \nOur 2020 Human Needs Heroes have been especially heroic this year. We are so honored to celebrate three campaigns that have overcome tremendous obstacles to ensure justice for children and immigrants today and for generations to come: The Census Counts and Count All Kids campaigns\, who continue to fight for an accurate count of all people in the Decennial Census\, and Protecting Immigrant Families\, a campaign committed to lifting up immigrant voices and advocating for humane immigration policies in our communities and in our country. \nBut our honorees are much more than just campaigns. These are group efforts spearheaded by some of the most compassionate and dedicated advocates and policy experts in Washington and beyond. Our friends have found ingenious solutions to continue rallying for immigrants and children despite the stress and obstacles presented by COVID-19. Join CHN in celebrating their myriad accomplishments! \nWe are hoping you and/or your organization will sponsor the event and be listed in invitations and our program. This is our only major fundraising event of the year and all proceeds raised go to supporting the work of the Coalition on Human Needs. Plus: this is the first time we have gone fully virtual! So get out your best Zoom shirt\, pour your favorite drink\, and bring out your loved ones and pets for a very special 2020 Human Needs Hero reception. We can’t wait to see your faces there. \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Nicolai Haddal\, Field and (Virtual) Events Coordinator at nhaddal@chn.org or 202-223-2532 x115. \n\nABOUT OUR HONOREES \n\nCensus Counts\nThe Census Counts campaign\, which is housed at The Leadership Conference Education Fund\, brings together community-based organizations across a wide spectrum of advocacy: civil rights\, immigrant\, LGBTQ\, disability\, infant and child\, poverty and homelessness\, faith-based\, labor\, health care\, education\, youth\, and more. Census Counts organizers and advocates are working to ensure communities the census has historically missed are counted in the 2020 Census. \n\nCount All Kids\nThrough educating the public\, supporting state and local advocates\, and working with the Census Bureau to help them improve their plans to reach out to families with young children\, the Count All Kids Committee and the Count All Kids Campaign are working to make sure that every child is counted in 2020. Because young children have been the age group most missed in previous censuses\, Count All Kids has worked ceaselessly to spread the word that everyone should be counted\, including babies\, toddlers\, and people of all ages. Count All Kids has been an invaluable ally in the fight for a fair and accurate census. \n\nProtecting Immigrant Families\nThe Protecting Immigrant Families\, Advancing Our Future (“PIF”) Campaign was created in 2017 in response to leaks about policy changes by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other government agencies. Co-chaired by the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) and the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP)\, the Campaign has grown into a nationwide network of over 500 groups. Members represent diverse sectors including public health\, nutrition\, anti-poverty\, early childhood\, education\, housing\, aging and disability\, faith-based\, immigrants’ rights\, civil rights\, and many others united by the belief that our collective well-being depends on all of us being healthy and safe.  The Campaign’s structure has allowed them to develop innovative advocacy strategies\, lift up best practices\, and keep allies informed of public charge policies that impact immigrant families. The PIF Campaign has led the fight against the proposed “public charge” wealth test for immigrants\, which has deep roots in America’s history of discrimination\, racism\, and classism. PIF secured a record-setting quarter million comments to DHS’s public charge regulations which strengthened multiple strategic lawsuits brought by PIF members and allies in federal courts. Since the public charge changes were first threatened\, the rule has discouraged many immigrant families from accessing benefits even though they are eligible.  PIF campaign members remain dedicated to fighting back and to making sure immigrants and others who believe they are directly affected by public charge rule changes have information to make sound decisions about maintaining their families’ health and well-being. \n\n  \nWHY SUPPORT CHN? \nYour support for CHN is more important than ever. We truly mean it. The pandemic has changed the way we work\, but not our commitment to fighting for basic human needs programs. \nAll proceeds from sponsorships and ticket sales benefit the work of the Coalition on Human Needs. Since 1981\, CHN has promoted adequate funding for human needs programs\, progressive tax policies and other federal measures to address the needs of low-income and other vulnerable people.\nWe do this by: \n\nOur new COVID-19 response working groups and weekly legislative planning meetings;\nPublishing fact sheets\, news stories\, and extensive resources on the harm of the pandemic and the inadequate response to the crisis by the Trump administration;\nMobilizing to register new voters in 2020;\nFacilitating hundreds of thousands of communications to Congress and the Trump administration for pandemic relief and expanding low-income tax credits\, Medicaid\, housing assistance\, and SNAP;\nTeaching concerned people how to become effective advocates;\nPromoting the work of CHN members and strengthening their campaigns; and\nProviding timely updates through our Voices for Human Needs blog and Human Needs Report.\n\nThank you so much to everyone who helped make our 17th Human Needs Hero event such a success!

SUMMARY:YWCA Stand Against Racism: Addressing Racism as a Public Health Crisis
DESCRIPTION:From our friends at the YWCA: \nYWCA USA’s 15th annual Stand Against Racism campaign will take place April 22 – 25\, 2021.\nWe invite YWCAs and allied groups to focus their events and organizing on the myriad of racial justice issues that impact the health and safety of communities of color. Most importantly\, we invite you to explore how From Declarations to Change: Addressing Racism as a Public Health Crisis can advance the work of justice in your community and empower people of color. \nStructural racism plays a large role in determining the conditions in which people are born\, grow\, work\, live\, and age. These factors affect people’s access to quality housing\, education\, food\, transportation\, political power\, and other social determinants of health. Understanding and addressing systemic racism from this public health perspective is crucial to eliminating racial and ethnic inequities\, and to improving opportunity and well-being across communities. \nOur collective efforts can root out injustice\, transform institutions\, and create a world that sees women\, girls\, and people of color the way we do: Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable. \nJoin Us For Stand Against Racism 2021!
