1. TheRESULTS National Webinar December 2020 Welcome!

2. 2 RESULTS Anti-Oppression Values RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together we use our voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty. Poverty cannot end as long as oppression exists. We commit to opposing all forms of oppression, including racism, classism, colonialism, white saviorism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, and religious discrimination. At RESULTS we pledge to create space for all voices, including those of us who are currently experiencing poverty. We will address oppressive behavior in our interactions, families, communities, work, and world. Our strength is rooted in our diversity of experiences, not in our assumptions. With unearned privilege comes the responsibility to act so the burden to educate and change doesn t fall solely on those experiencing oppression. When we miss the mark on our values, we will acknowledge our mistake, seek forgiveness, learn, and work together as a community to pursue equity. There are no saviors only partners, advocates, and allies. We agree to help make the RESULTS movement a respectful, inclusive space.

9. 9 Census Household Pulse Survey

10. 10 COVID Deal? Congress passed CR until December 11 Latest bipartisan proposal includes: o $25 billion for emergency rental assistance (for first quarter of 2021) o $26 billion in food and agriculture assistance (could allow for boost in SNAP benefits by 15 percent) o NO funding for global response Finalizing deal in next hours, or at most days

11. 11 Key COVID Asks Global: $20 billion in the COVID response bill with priority for Gavi (vaccines), the Global Fund, and nutrition assistance. Housing: the $25 billion for rental assistance should be targeted to reach low-income households most at risk of eviction and must be combined with an extension of a national eviction moratorium to ensure families stay stably housed over next few months U.S. Nutrition: support a 15 percent boost to SNAP (since the $26 billion "nutrition" line was vague in the bipartisan proposal released earlier this week).

12. 12 Take Action Congress must act and ensure the COVID relief bill prioritizes impoverished and marginalized groups, at home and abroad. https://results.org/volunteers/action-center/

13. 13 2021 housing policy priorities Immediate need: $100 billion in emergency rental assistance over 12 months plus strong eviction moratorium Then, must address underlying housing crisis, with bold long-term solutions o Dramatically scale up assistance for low-income renters o May also work on increasing the supply of affordable housing o Longer term/next strategic plan: homeownership

14. 14 2021 U.S. policy priorities (cont d) Immediate need: Boost SNAP at least 15 percent o With additional funding/capacity, engage in targeted work on Child Nutrition Reauthorization (e.g. school meals) and next Farm Bill (SNAP) Expand EITC and CTC o Can build on bipartisan CTC expansion efforts Expanding the CTC cut could child poverty by at least one-third o Expand EITC for younger workers/others who don t claim dependents o If Dems control Senate: large scale tax legislation via reconciliation

15. 15 2021 Global policy priorities Responding to the global pandemic U.S. leadership for the Global Partnership for Education o U.S. pledge of $1 billion over five years at July 2021 pledging conference Increase support for underfunded priorities o Nutrition o Tuberculosis
