CA Policy Forum Quarterly Webinar: State of the Economy and Safety Net Tax Policies
Tues, August 8, 10:00 - 11:15 am
With economic uncertainty looming and massive state revenue shortfalls, the California Policy Forum will turn its attention to the importance of tax-based safety net programs in supporting so many California families. While philanthropy and nonprofits tend to focus on health and human services, we can end up neglecting the powerful tax policies that affect poverty profoundly.
Join CalNonprofits as they explore the benefits of critical policies like the Young Child Tax Credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and other tax policies that have had incredibly positive results – but are today at risk. Without them, millions of people could return to poverty, food insecurity, and other economically disadvantaged positions.
