What Works - and What Doesn't - to Reduce Poverty and Expand Opportunity
UPDATE: Click here and scroll down to watch the live stream of this event.
At the Coalition on Human Needs, we’re busy getting ready for a big event this Thursday, June 16 (if you get our emails, you've hopefully already heard about it). If you’ve already registered – super! If you haven’t yet registered, we hope you’ll do so now and join us for what’s sure to be an informative and interesting discussion. With great speakers and a top-notch panel (listed below), the event will look at effective and ineffective anti-poverty programs and how the recently-released Ryan poverty plan measures up.
If you’re in Washington, DC, we invite you to attend in person. If you’re not in DC, we hope you’ll attend via live stream. All viewers and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, and all registrants will receive links to related reports and analyses. In the days and weeks following the event, we’ll continue the conversation on our blog, Voices for Human Needs, and via Twitter and Facebook, and we hope you’ll join us then, too. But first, here are the details for this Thursday:
