The Politics of Ending Poverty
With Amy Castro, Sarah Jackson, and Brent Cebul. Moderated by Ben Jealous.
Why has poverty remained one of America’s most persistent challenges, and what would it take to create lasting economic opportunity for all? This panel examines the political forces that have shaped anti-poverty policy, from the New Deal to guaranteed income initiatives, and considers what it will take to build a more equitable and prosperous future.
Introductory remarks will be given by SP2 Dean Sara S. Bachman.
