WEBINAR - Strategies for Centering Families: New Narratives, Better Policies

 
FROM The Ascend at the Aspen Institute Team
 
Text taken from and registration here
 
Please join us for a webinar on Thursday, November 30th at 12 pm ET to explore policymaking strategies that replace false narratives with real family voices and experiences.

Effective policy is informed by best and promising practices and engages the voices of families. When divorced from the lived experiences of the families they serve, policies are instead designed around who these families are imagined to be. For low-income families, and especially families of color, these narratives are filled with suspicion and derision. As a result, structural policies can end up further marginalizing vulnerable families in our communities, due to inaccessible or unresponsive critical services.

The webinar will highlight recommendations from a new paper, BecomingVisible: Welfare, Race, and Political Voice in Jackson, Mississippi, which details the experiences of families in affordable housing in the context of social policies that affect their financial security and economic mobility.


The webinar will feature the following speakers:

Register now! We hope to see you on November 30 at 12 pm ET. 

Warm regards,

The Ascend at the Aspen Institute team
