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\n\n\n\n	Related
