END CHILD POVERTY NOW! ********************************* EXAMINES THE DEEP LEVEL OF CHILD POVERTY THAT EXISTS IN THE US. LOOKS AT WHAT EFFORTS FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION, ANTI-HUNGER, HOUSING, HEALTH CARE, K-12 INITIATIVES, TAX CREDITS, & GUARANTEED INCOME STRATEGIES HAVE WORKED, WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM SUCCESSFUL MODELS IN OTHER COUNTRIES, CITIES, AND LOCALES. WHAT CAN WE DO TO FINALLY END CHILD POVERTY ONCE AND FOR ALL? STUDENTS WILL HEAR FROM POLICY MAKERS, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZERS, FOUNDATION OFFICERS, PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN, & NON-PROFIT LEADERS TO GAIN THEIR INSIGHTS WITH RACE, GENDER, IMMIGRATION STATUS, ETHNICITY, & SOCIAL MOBILITY AT THE FOREFRONT OF DISCUSSIONS. GOAL IS FOR STUDENTS TO NOT ONLY DEVELOP NEW SKILLS, BUT TO ENGAGE AND PROPOSE POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS & INNOVATIONS.
