When it comes to policy proposals that impact economically vulnerable families and individuals, it can be confusing to know what is most helpful. To help bring clarity, the NAE hosted a free webinar to explain what is on the table and how you can be part of lifting millions out of poverty.
Kathryn Edin, one of the nation’s leading poverty researcher, and Gabriel Salguero, senior pastor and coalition leader, offered a framework and basis for considering bipartisan solutions. The NAE staff also highlighted information on tax credits, immigration, predatory lending and paid family leave.
Kathryn Edin serves as William Church Osborn Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. She is one of the nation’s leading poverty researchers and has authored eight books, including “$2 a Day: The Art of Living on Virtually Nothing in America,” and some 60 journal articles. She is a trustee of the Russell Sage Foundation and a founding member of the MacArthur Foundation-funded Network on Housing and Families with Young Children. Edin received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from North Park University and serves on its Board of Trustees. She holds a Ph.D. in sociology from Northwestern University.
