2 2 Welcome from Joanne Carter Executive Director, RESULTS RESULTS U.S. Poverty National Webinar
3 3 RESULTS U.S. Poverty National Webinar
4 4 Thank You for an Inspiring 2017! 442 media pieces in face-to-face meetings (139 House, 40 Senate) 118 outreach events 8 of 10 RESULTS U.S. Poverty groups (plus 18 Free Agents) represented at the 2017 International Conference See a list of all the media pieces published since last year s election more on our media map! RESULTS U.S. Poverty National Webinar
5 5 Advocacy Makes a Difference! RESULTS volunteers and millions of other Americans stood up for health care and against cuts to nutrition programs Despite attacks at the start of 2017, Congressional leaders were not able to push through proposals to restructure SNAP and Medicaid Advocates stopped Senate leaders from getting 50 votes on four different health bills that would have decimated Medicaid Focused, strategic actions coupled with stories made a difference! RESULTS members with Sen. Susan Collins (R- ME), July 25, 2017
6 6 December 2017 Tax Recap Tax legislation adding $1.5 trillion to the federal deficit passed in December despite a huge public outcry that you helped create. Meredith Dodson Director of U.S. Poverty Campaigns mdodson@results.org Final tax bill includes a slight increase in the Child Tax Credit for low-income families (see this good Vox explainer) and Senate Republicans are now on record supporting an expansion of tax credits for low-income families.
7 7 We can, and we must, win this second part of the fight. - RESULTS Executive Director Joanne Carter after the tax vote
8 8 Primary Campaign for Early 2018: Protect Anti-Poverty Programs at Risk in Upcoming Budget Battles House leaders want to push deep cuts to assistance programs in their next budget Targets are SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, EITC, CTC, etc. While there is some pushback from the Administration and the Senate whether to prioritize cuts to health and basic assistance, we need keep up the pressure and tell Congress to strengthen these programs!
9 9
10 10 Hunger and Poverty by Race From new U.S. Census poverty data: More than 1 in 5 Black Americans live below the poverty line Almost 1 in 4 Hispanics Only 8.8 percent of Whites This is the legacy of structural racism that created the racial wealth gap.
11 2016 USDA Data: Food Insecurity 4.6 mil SNAP lifted 4.6 mil people out of poverty, including 2.1 million in 2015
12 12 Anti-Poverty Programs Make an Impact!
13 13 Federal Programs are Key in Fighting Hunger
14 SNAP (formerly Food Stamps) SNAP is the first line of defense against hunger in America It is one of the most efficient government programs o More than 99 percent of benefits go to eligible households In 2016, SNAP lifted nearly 3.6 million people above the poverty line o Serves over 41 million people per month 3.6 mil SNAP lifted 3.6 mil people out of poverty in 2016
15 Without SNAP, I d be on the cusp of homelessness. With SNAP, I m on the cusp of law school. -Asia Bijan Thompson, RESULTS Expert on Poverty #Voices4RESULTS
16 SNAP (formerly Food Stamps) Participation 3.6 mil SNAP lifted 3.6 mil people out of poverty in 2016
17 Medicaid and CHIP Are Key Especially for Young Children 3.6 mil SNAP lifted 3.6 mil people out of poverty in 2016 RESULTS U.S. Poverty National Webinar
18 Instead of Taking Food and Health Care Away from Working Families, We Must Strengthen SNAP and Other Policies Some in Congress want to add work requirements to programs like SNAP and Medicaid. But taking away food and health care doesn t help people find work. We should address the cliff effect without undermining the core benefits of SNAP and other antipoverty programs. SNAP s meal allotment of about $125 per month, or about $1.40 per meal per person, is inadequate to meet the nutritional needs of hungry Americans. RESULTS U.S. Poverty National Webinar
