RESULTS advocates for policies that increase access to affordable rental housing, support homeownership, and tackle the racial wealth divide in the U.S.
A crowd of hundreds of advocates was gathered virtually on Feb. 6, 2021 for the RESULTS First 100 Days Campaign Kickoff event to prepare to meet with their members of Congress in their first 100 days in office.
Congressional leadership is working to pass another COVID-19 relief package through a special legislative process called budget reconciliation. This is a step in the right direction, but the amounts in the proposed budget reconciliation do not go far enough. More advocacy is needed to ensure that the U.S. provides COVID-19 relief on a scale that meets the tremendous need that exists in the U.S. and in partner countries.
As RESULTS kicks off our First 100 Days campaign, we’ll be pushing right away for more COVID relief that’s so desperately needed. The first 100 days will help decide which trajectory the country and world get on – one that goes back to “normal” after the pandemic, or one that actually builds with equity and justice.
Congress finally agreed to a new COVID relief package, which will help millions more people put food on the table, stay housed, and access lifesaving vaccines. To each of you who played a role in this, thank you. But our work is far, far from finished, as millions of people continue to live on the brink.
The White House has released a series of harmful proposed rules that target low-income people and disproportionately harm communities of color. In addition to the important legislative advocacy our grassroots advocates are engaged in, RESULTS has submitted several comments on these proposed rule changes.
Guest Speakers: Sarah Saadian, Vice President of Public Policy at the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC); Shawn Baker, Chief Nutritionist at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
