SUMMARY:Poverty and Hardship – Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Watch this webinar here. Slides available at this link here. \nEvery year\, CHN provides training on what to expect from the Census Bureau’s annual poverty\, income\, and health insurance data\, and how to find and use the data online. But the pandemic and the ensuing economic shutdown has complicated the data that’s being released and its interpretation. But don’t fret: We’re tailoring our training to prepare you for this year’s needs. \nJoin us for a webinar that will put the upcoming Census Bureau release in context and tell you how to use its findings.  The Census Bureau’s new data\, to be released on Sept. 14\, covers the year 2020.  But there is also more current data\, available this year for the first time\, that we want you to know how to use.  Together\, these sources make the case for the package of poverty-fighting policies proposed for action now in Congress. \nThe timing is perfect for you to learn about and act on this information – so please join us! \nRegister here. \nPresenters: \nThe Context:  Economic progress means addressing racial and ethnic disparities\nWilliam Spriggs:  An economist with a distinguished career in public policy and equity in employment\, William Spriggs is a professor in\, and former Chair of\, the Department of Economics at Howard University and Chief Economist for the AFL-CIO.  He served as Assistant Secretary for the Office of Policy at the U.S. Department of Labor in the Obama Administration\, and had senior economic policy roles at the Economic Policy Institute\, National Urban League\, and at the Joint Economic Committee of Congress. \nToday’s Reality:  We’ll hear from Christopher Wimer and Megan Curran from the Columbia University Center on Poverty and Social Policy and Claire Zippel from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities to learn about current monthly poverty estimates and the Census Bureau’s Household Pulse data showing the hardships households face trying to cover regular household expenses\, including food\, housing\, and utilities. \nHow to Put it Together:  Deborah Weinstein\, Executive Director of the Coalition on Human Needs\, will explain how to use the data coming out on September 14\, and how to combine it with the other sources to make the case for a Build Back Better agenda that can lead to unprecedented progress in reducing poverty. \nThis webinar will be close captioned. Even if you can’t attend\, register and we’ll follow up with a captioned recording\, slides\, and other important resources that will help you learn about and act on the information the Census Bureau is releasing. \nWatch this webinar here.

SUMMARY:Inflation Truths: Why Build Back Better will help\, not hurt
DESCRIPTION:A captioned recording of the webinar is available at this link here. Find the slides at this link here. \nRising prices on food and essential goods affect everyone\, but they have a disproportionately high impact on people with low incomes. With recent inflation higher than it’s been in decades\, some have pointed the finger at government spending and worry President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda will contribute to further price increases. \nBut the facts tell a different story. Join the Coalition on Human Needs for a webinar that explains the inflationary moment we are in now: its causes\, solutions\, and government actions to alleviate current hardships. \nYou’ll hear from Jared Bernstein\, an economist for President Biden who is serving on the White House Council of Economic Advisers\, Josh Bivens\, Director of Research at the Economic Policy Institute\, and Rakeen Mabud\, chief economist at the Groundwork Collaborative. You’ll learn how we can address concerns over inflation as we continue the push for truly transformational investments in health care\, housing\, child care\, protecting against climate change\, and much more. \nEven if you can’t make the webinar\, sign up and you’ll be emailed a captioned recording of the webinar\, slides\, and other resources. \nA captioned recording of the webinar is available at this link here.

SUMMARY:What’s Next for Build Back Better?
DESCRIPTION:While it has become increasingly clear there is no longer a path for the House-approved version of Build Back Better\, Congress can still reach a reasonable compromise on a scaled-back — but still significant — package that would provide relief to families who need it and invest in our future. Join the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Coalition on Human Needs to get the latest on what’s happening in the federal landscape and what we can do to ensure Congress reaches an agreement on a meaningful policy package that lowers costs for families and helps them deal with the everyday challenges they face. \nSee slides from this webinar here. \n

SUMMARY:Unfinished Business: The FY23 Biden Budget and what's next for human needs programs
DESCRIPTION:On March 28th President Biden released his proposed Fiscal Year 2023 budget. This budget proposes vital investments in our future while providing for the urgent economic and public health investments that families need now. \nJoin the Coalition on Human Needs and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities to hear policy experts who will explain what you need to know about the President’s new budget and how it can be the blueprint for congressional action. \nThe Biden budget tackles the unfinished business before us. It pledges continued support for an economic package needed now\, including the expanded Child Tax Credit and EITC\, affordable child care\, health care\, housing\, and reduced prescription drug costs and climate change mitigation. And it proposes important expansions of mental health services\, affordable housing\, education funding\, more humane treatment of immigrants\, and much more. \nThe Biden budget shows we can afford the investments our nation needs while reducing the deficit\, by requiring the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay a fairer share of taxes. \nYou’ll learn about these proposals\, and how to use them to get Congress to act on its once-in-a-generation opportunities to pass historic economic legislation that would lift millions out of poverty and reduce inequities that hold us back. The time to get the job done is now. \nSee slides from this webinar here.

SUMMARY:PANDEMIC AND RESPONSE: Using Census and Other Data to Track Poverty\, Hardship and the Impact of Aid During a Tumultuous Time Description
DESCRIPTION:You can view a recording of CHN’s training webinar here. Please also see the slides here\, \nThe Census Bureau will release new poverty\, income and health insurance data on September 13-15. This data will cover the pandemic year of 2021\, a year in which COVID cases surged early\, plunged and then rose again by year’s end. How did people fare\, and what differences were there by age\, race/ethnicity\, and income? Did the Child Tax Credit and other pandemic aid help? And while the survey data to be released in September only covers 2021\, what other data is available to tell us about what is happening now? \nThis webinar will show you how to find and use the 2021 national\, state and local data to be released in September\, how to make use of other and newer data showing changes in poverty by month\, and how many were unable to afford enough food or struggled to pay regular expenses through August of this year. You’ll learn how to navigate changes in the Census Bureau’s website and tools. \nYou’ll get an expert economic assessment about where we are now\, and learn how to use all the available information – some specific to your state or locality – to make the case for investments to reduce racial disparities and to help people with low incomes get ahead. \nThe webinar will be recorded; all registrants will get the live link\, with opportunities to ask questions\, and will also get the recording\, slides\, and follow-up resources. \nThe webinar will be close-captioned. \nYou can view a recording of CHN’s training webinar here.

SUMMARY:Webinar:  Project 2025’s Threats to Human Needs Programs
DESCRIPTION:You’ve probably heard about Project 2025 – which produced a 900+-page compendium of extremist proposals put out by the right-wing Heritage Foundation (although the head of the project left the Heritage Foundation after Project 2025 proved intensely unpopular). So why should you know about these plans? Because they have been developed by many with connections to the former Trump Administration and are similar to certain proposals before Congress now. Whoever wins the election\, these proposals to shrink human needs programs may emerge – and we have to be ready. \nDuring this webinar\, you’ll learn about Project 2025 proposals to limit Medicaid and other health programs and to eliminate education and early childhood programs as well as limiting access to free school meals. You’ll also learn about efforts to politicize the federal workforce and limit protections for voters and consumers and against discrimination. And very important – you’ll hear about public opinion research showing just how unpopular these proposals are\, and how that can strengthen our advocacy for meeting human needs and for basic justice. \nWatch a recording of it here. \nList of speakers: \n\nJulie Tippens\, Director of the Legislative\, Political and Mobilization Department\, American Federation of Government Employees\nNatasha Murphy\, Director\, Health Policy\, Center for American Progress\nLily Klam\, Director\, Education Policy\, First Focus on Children\nMeeta Anand\, Senior Director\, Census and Data Equity\, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights\nBryan Bennett\, Navigator Research & Senior Director of Polling & Analytics at The Hub Project\nDeborah Weinstein\, Executive Director\, Coalition on Human Needs\, Moderator

SUMMARY:Webinar: How to Use Upcoming Poverty\, Income\, and Health Insurance Data
DESCRIPTION:In an election year\, it’s especially important to assess where we’ve made progress\, and what’s held us back. \nPlease join us on Thursday\, September 5th\, at 1 pm ET\, for a webinar to prepare you for the annual Census Bureau release of state and local poverty\, income\, and health insurance data. \nThe Census Bureau will release national poverty\, income\, and health insurance data on September 10\, followed by state and local data on these and many other topics from the American Community Survey on September 12. \nEvery year\, it’s important to understand income and health insurance trends – but it’s especially important now\, because the nation experienced a dramatic reduction in child poverty as a result of the 2021 Child Tax Credit\, only to see poverty surge after the CTC was allowed to expire. What has happened since? Have the Biden Administration’s vigorous efforts to promote Affordable Care Act health insurance\, along with more generous premium tax credits\, resulted in fewer uninsured people? \nWe’ll help you get ready to find and use the information coming out starting September 10 – with insightful analyses about poverty and health coverage\, and practical instructions on how to navigate the Census Bureau’s website – so you can get the state/local data you need\, and know how to find breakdowns by age\, race\, and ethnicity\, and how to show trends over time. \nList of speakers: \n\nChristopher Wimer\, Director of the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at the Columbia University School of Social Work\nStan Dorn\, Director\, Health Policy Project\, UnidosUS -Deborah Weinstein\, Executive Director\, Coalition on Human Needs\nEllen Teller\, Chief Government Affairs Officer\, Food Research and Action Center (FRAC)\, Moderator\n\nIf you are interested in the webinar but cannot join us\, please register anyway. All registrants will receive the recording\, slides\, and follow-up information. We welcome you to forward this to other advocates who may be interested.
