Convenings on Climate Change

Join the Minnesota Budget Project in Duluth and Mankato where we will be hosting Convenings on Climate Change. We look forward to bringing together low-income service providers, environmentalists, faith leaders, labor groups, social justice advocates and other community members interested in learning why climate change is a concern for low-income communities, how proposed solutions can create new opportunities and ways to get involved.

These events will be informal and conversational, providing an opportunity for discussion around topics such as:
  • Providing low-income consumer relief from increasing energy prices.
  • Making energy efficiency/weatherization improvements on low-income housing.
  • Providing training and access to green jobs.
  • Building sustainable communities.

Measure by Measure: Modernizing the Poverty Measure

Sponsored by Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP)

CLASP is holding an important national audio conference call to discuss federal efforts to implement a modernized federal poverty measure. Deborah Schlick, Executive Director of the Affirmative Options Coalition will be sharing her perspective on state actions in the absence of a modern federal measure.

Around the nation, states, particularly those with poverty commissions, are asking such questions as: does the official measure capture all those who are poor? Does the official measure help demonstrate progress in poverty reduction due to new policies? What other indicators are helpful?

Participants will have an opportunity to get their questions answered about how we currently measure poverty and what efforts are being made at the federal and state level to improve this measure. Featuring John Kefalas, Colorado State Representative, Elizabeth Lower-Basch, CLASP, and Deborah Schlick, Affirmative Options Coalition.

Monday, November 23
11:30 - 12:30

Visit CLASP's web site to RSVP.
