Tax Policy Messaging Workshop: Lifting Children and Families Out of Poverty
Many people avoid discussing taxes because it can be difficult to understand and at times, boring. However, tax policy is a powerful tool that can yield impactful results for those that know how to wield it. Low-income Hoosier families are in dire need of relief and services. We believe that there are opportunities on the horizon for tax policy to help relieve the burden experienced by Indiana's most vulnerable.
Join us on Zoom on December 3 to hear from leading experts on how to discuss tax policy as a method to lift children and families out of poverty. Register Here. |
