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:Census 2020: Why getting it right matters (a lot!)
DESCRIPTION:Census 2020: Why getting it right matters (a lot!)\nWednesday\, January 23rd\n3 P.M. Eastern\, 2 P.M. Central\, 1 P.M. Mountain\, 12 P.M. Pacific\nClick Here to Register Today\nWith 2019 now upon us\, the 2020 Census is right around the corner. Join the Coalition on Human Needs and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights to find out what you need to know as the year-long countdown to the next decennial census begins. \nYou’ll hear from experts on the importance of a complete and accurate count\, how inadequate census outreach would be detrimental to our democracy\, and an overview of the state of play around whether a citizenship question will be included. You’ll get a preview of what will happen between now and 2020\, how to keep up the pressure on Congress and the Administration to ensure a fair Census\, and what can be done to improve the count of certain populations such as young children that have been under-counted in the past. \nThe decennial census is one of the foundational building blocks of our democracy. The demographic information gleaned by the Census Bureau is used to make critical decisions both by the government and the private sector\, such as the allocation of funding for social services and where non-profits and businesses decide to expand their operations. And the official count will be used for electoral redistricting and the reapportionment of Congress itself. \nSo much is at stake\, and many important changes are in store for the 2020 Census. This time\, there will be a greater emphasis on gathering Census form responses online. And in spite of a federal judge’s recent ruling\, questions still remain about the inclusion of a citizenship question for the first time in decades\, which could result in lower response rates from populations that have historically been undercounted to begin with. \nClick here to register today. \nKeep in mind: Slides and a full recording of the webinar will be available after the event\, so even if you cannot attend\, you should sign up to gain access to the materials.

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.

SUMMARY:Strategies to Stop SNAP Proposals that Take Away Food Assistance from Millions
DESCRIPTION:You can view an archive of this recording here. \nTuesday\, April 24\, 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time \nSNAP\, the nation’s most effective anti-hunger program\, is under attack in the 2018 Farm Bill that’s moving through the House right now\, possibly reaching the House floor as early as the week of May 7. The 2018 Farm Bill expected to be approved by the House Committee on Agriculture would make it harder for millions of people to put food on the table by taking away or reducing SNAP benefits for many struggling Americans\, including parents raising kids\, people with disabilities\, older adults\, and people who are working but struggling to get enough hours or get by on low wages. Many children will lose access to free school meals\, too. \nPlease join this webinar to learn more about how the Farm Bill moving to the House floor would harm SNAP participants and communities across the country\, the best messages to use when talking about the Farm Bill\, and actions you can take in the coming days and weeks to protect SNAP. This webinar is co-sponsored by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, the Coalition on Human Needs\, Feeding America\, and the Food Research & Action Center. \nPlease note that this webinar is geared towards advocates; it is not for legislative staff or members of the media and is not on the record.

DESCRIPTION:An archive of this webinar is available here. \nThis webinar co-sponsored by the Coalition on Human Needs\, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights\, the Children’s Leadership Council\, and the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality. \nThe 2020 Census may seem like a long time away\, but decisions are being made now in Washington that will affect the accuracy of the count.  In the past\, the Census has undercounted young children\, communities of color\, and low income rural and urban households; very much related\, immigrants also are at risk of disproportionate undercounting.  This matters a lot:  much federal funding is distributed by formulas based on population and income\, and some communities will get less than they should if their residents are not accurately counted.  Further\, congressional\, state legislative\, and municipal districts are re-drawn every ten years based on the Census count.  In 2020\, for the first time\, the Census Bureau will promote the Internet as the primary way to answer the census\, which may increase the likelihood of an undercount in low-income communities. \nIn this webinar\, learn from national Census experts about how we can protect and improve on the Census’ accuracy\, so that low-income communities are not shortchanged.  This webinar will be useful for advocates and service providers working at the local\, state\, or federal levels.  If your communities receive funding based on federal or state formulas\, this webinar is important to you. \nPresenters:         \nTerri Ann Lowenthal is a nationally recognized expert on the U.S. census. During a 14-year career as a congressional aide\, she was staff director of the House census oversight subcommittee from 1987-94\, and has advised the Census 2000 Initiative and The Census Project\, Funders Census Initiative\, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and business and industry data users.  She will describe how the 2020 Census will be used and the preparations for it going on now. \nWilliam O’Hare has more than forty years of experience in statistical analysis of social and demographic data.  Previously a Senior Consultant with the KIDS COUNT Project at the Annie E. Casey Foundation\, Bill is the author of The Undercount of Young Children in the U.S. Decennial Census (SpringerBriefs in Population Studies).  Bill will explain about who is undercounted\, with new state and local information and how advocates can use it. \nCorrine Yu is Senior Counsel and Managing Policy Director of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights\, and a leader in efforts to protect and improve the accuracy of the census.  She will describe action steps to make sure the Census is adequately funded and to prepare for the outreach needed in communities to get an accurate count. \nDeborah Weinstein\, Executive Director of the Coalition on Human Needs\, moderator.

SUMMARY:The New Congress: How It Plans to Cut And How to Fight Back
DESCRIPTION:An archive of this webinar is available here. \nThe Affordable Care Act. Medicaid. Medicare. SNAP. SSI.  Tax rates for the wealthy and corporations. The new Congress wants to repeal\, restrict and/or cut all of these.  How will they use their rules to try to carry all this out?  And how will Senators who oppose these goals try to stop the cuts? \nPresenters: \nEllen Nissenbaum\, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities \nDeborah Weinstein\, Coalition on Human Needs \nRepresentative Jim McGovern \nModerator:  Ellen Teller\, Food Research and Action Center \nWhat you’ll learn: \nThe new Congress will try to repeal the Affordable Care Act in January\, so President Trump can sign it soon after his inauguration\, and enact some kind of replacement later.  They will use budget rules to try to get the repeal done with a simple majority.  Ellen Nissenbaum\, a renowned expert on the congressional budget rules\, will explain how the rules work\, and what leverage points may exist for opponents.  Some actions can pass with only 51 Senators; many others require 60 votes to pass.  These rules affect the strategies over plans to cut/restrict critically important human needs programs\, as well as gigantic tax cut proposals.  Advocates need to understand the rules\, to work effectively with congressional allies to hold off extreme proposals.  Deborah Weinstein will talk about advocacy strategies we can use together.

SUMMARY:Child Lead Poisoning: Preventable Harm
DESCRIPTION:An archive of this webinar is available here. \nChild Lead Poisoning: Preventable Harm \nA Webinar co-sponsored by the Coalition on Human Needs\, First Focus\, Children’s Leadership Council\, Partnership for America’s Children\, MomsRising\, and the National Head Start Association \nTuesday\, May 3\, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET \nThe lead poisoning of children (and adults) in Flint\, Michigan has focused the nation’s attention on the terrible human cost of allowing contamination of our water supply. We have since learned that lead in water affects many communities nationwide\, and that lead from paint in older buildings is an even more prevalent source of child poisoning. We have known about this for a long time\, and steps to reduce the lead around us in previous decades have dramatically reduced the number of children suffering from lead poisoning. But reduced investments by local\, state\, and federal governments have slowed our progress and brought preventable harm to more than half a million U.S. children. \nThis webinar will provide expert evidence about the consequences of lead poisoning in children\, examples of work being done in Flint and Philadelphia to stop this scourge\, and timely information about Congressional proposals to fund the solutions. \nSpeakers include: \nDr. Jennifer A. Lowry\, MD\, a pediatrician and national expert on medical toxicology\, including lead poisoning\, practicing at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City\, MO. She directs the Mid-America Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PESHU) for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 and serves as chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Council on Environmental Health. \nColleen McCauley\, Health Policy Director at Public Citizens for Children and Youth in Pennsylvania. She works on child health policies\, with special emphasis on low-income and undocumented children in the metro Philadelphia area. Prior to joining PCCY in 2001\, Colleen was a nurse and former Assistant Director of the Abbottsford Community Health Center in Philadelphia. \nModerator: \nDeborah Weinstein\, Executive Director\, Coalition on Human Needs.
