There's growing discussion about federal budget cuts – whether through executive action or Congressional plans – and at the same time, state budget writers are moving forward with their own proposals that will significantly impact our communities. These decisions could increase the risk of harm, especially if they fail to prioritize people and communities.
Understanding what's happening and who's responsible can help us connect the dots across issues and expose the broader agenda at play: tax cuts for the wealthiest few and profitable corporations, while critical investments in our daily lives are neglected.
Join us for the next Making Connections – at an evening hour! – to dive into the state budget proposals currently on the table, explore how federal decisions shape our state funding and everyday lives, and get tools to activate your networks. Together, we can work to ensure our budgets reflect the real priorities of people and communities.
We will be joined by Sally Hodges-Copple, Public Policy Analyst at the NC Budget & Tax Center, along with some of our partners in this work.
This webinar will be presented simultaneously in English and Spanish, and we will share a recording of the webinar afterward with everyone who registers.
