SUMMARY:Webinar: Then and Now: How to Use New Census Surveys About Poverty\, Income\, and Health from 2019 and 2020
DESCRIPTION:Did you miss CHN’s annual webinar on using new Census surveys about poverty\, income\, and health from 2019 and 2020? Don’t fret! Sign up here to receive a captioned recording of the webinar along with further resources and follow-up materials. Webinar description below: \nWednesday\, September 9\, 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. ET  \nAll registrants will receive the webinar’s recording\, slides\, and extra information.  The webinar will be close-captioned.  \nIn 2019\, unemployment averaged 3.7 percent.  In July 2020\, it was 10.2 percent. The pandemic blew a hole in our economy.  In mid-September\, the Census Bureau will release its annual poverty\, income\, and health insurance statistics for 2019.  Census has also collected new Household Pulse survey data\, telling us about economic security now.  There’s a lot we can learn from 2019\, while still recognizing that conditions are painfully different for millions of Americans today. \nThis webinar will prepare you for what we’ll learn about 2019\, how to get and use the data for your state or city\, and how it compares to new data showing alarming numbers of households with less earnings\, going without food\, falling behind in rent\, and lacking health insurance. \nNationally known economist Jared Bernstein will predict what we can expect to see in the 2019 data and compare it to today’s economic crisis.  Poverty expert Arloc Sherman will tell you how to use the new Household Pulse survey (with national\, state and city data since the pandemic’s onset).  Debbie Weinstein\, expert Census data trainer\, will provide hands-on guidance on how to use – and how to talk about – the data coming out in September. \nSpeaker Bios:  \nJared Bernstein joined the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in 2011 as a Senior Fellow. From 2009 to 2011\, Bernstein was the Chief Economist and Economic Adviser to Vice President Joe Biden\, Executive Director of the White House Task Force on the Middle Class\, and a member of President Obama’s economic team.  He is the author and coauthor of numerous books for both popular and academic audiences\, including Getting Back to Full Employment: A Better Bargain for Working People\, and Crunch: Why Do I Feel So Squeezed? Bernstein has published extensively in various venues\, including the New York Times and Washington Post. He is an on-air commentator for the cable stations CNBC and MSNBC\, and hosts On The Economy (jaredbernsteinblog.com). \nArloc Sherman is Vice President of Data Analysis and Research at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, focusing on family income trends\, income support policies\, and the causes and consequences of poverty.  He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on National Statistics Panel to Review and Evaluate the 2014 Survey of Income and Program Participation’s Content and Design.  Prior to joining the Center in 2004\, Sherman worked for 14 years at the Children’s Defense Fund.  His book Wasting America’s Future was nominated for the 1994 Robert F. Kennedy Book Award. \nDeborah Weinstein is Executive Director of the Coalition on Human Needs. In her four decades of advocacy experience\, Debbie has worked on a wide range of human needs issues at both the state and federal level. Prior to coming to CHN\, Weinstein served for nine years as director of the Family Income division of the Children’s Defense Fund. Every year\, she finds new ways to make the Census data accessible and useful to advocates working on local\, state\, or federal issues. \nModerator:  Ellen Teller\, Director of Government Affairs\, Food Research and Action Center (FRAC)\, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Coalition on Human Needs\, and best ever fielder of webinar questions. \nThis webinar is co-sponsored by the Coalition on Human Needs\, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, Food Research & Action Center (FRAC)\, and the Partnership for America’s Children. \nSign up here to receive a captioned recording of the webinar along with further resources and follow-up materials.  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The New Trump Budget: Why it Really Matters
DESCRIPTION:President Trump’s latest budget proposal is out. And it’s every bit as bad as we feared. \nRecently\, President Trump asked a crowd of his donors: “Who the hell cares about the budget?” \nWe do\, and we think you should too.  Why?  If the new one is similar to his past proposals\, there will be very big cuts proposed for human needs programs.  Congress has rejected these in the past.  But his plans matter\, because the Trump Administration has aggressively sought to carry them out through administrative rule-making and moving or refusing to spend money despite Congressional intent. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll hear from experts about what the Trump budget would do and how it would affect people across America now and into the future. \nYou’ll find out more about 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.  You’ll learn about the impact of tax cuts – who benefits and who is hurt by the loss of revenue. \nYou’ll also get tips on how to talk about the choices the budget makes\, its winners and losers\, and how fairer and more sensible choices can better meet our nation’s needs.  You’ll get social media tools so you can be a part of a national debate on the right budget choices. \nSpeakers: \nTamara Fucile: Tamara is Director for Government Affairs and Senior Advisor for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Tamara helps direct the Center’s work with federal policymakers and with other national organizations on a broad range of policy issues\, including federal budget and appropriations\, nutrition programs\, and housing issues. A great budget expert\, she served as Associate Director for Legislative Affairs at the Office of Management and Budget from 2014 to 2017. \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: The 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. \n\n\n	Related

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. \n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Latest Plan to Deny Assistance: Shrinking the Poverty Line
