  With a new President, Administration, and Congress, critical federal safety net programs that support children and families including Medicaid, SNAP, housing, and early childhood, are likely to face serious cuts this year. A high-stakes tax policy debate that includes $4 trillion in tax cuts from the expiring 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act will set the stage for reductions in health and human service programs that will impact every community in America and touch every corner of philanthropic work — early childhood, health care, state and local government services, climate change, housing, senior services, family support services, and much more.  Learn more about key battles and opportunities and what’s at stake and in play in 2025 and beyond.

  (40 minutes) Part 1: Noted tax and budget policy expert Sharon Parrott will provide an overview of the federal budget, discuss current and upcoming budget and tax debates, and offer insights on the potential impact on families, workers, and communities.

  • Sharon Parrott, President, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

  (50 minutes) Part 2: A panel of experts will share how field leaders are working together to address the critical budget and tax debates ahead, build long-term power, and advance a racially and economically just tax system.

  • Amber Wallin, State Revenue Alliance

  • Carol Joyner, Family Values at Work Action

  • Joan Alker, Center for Children and Families at the Georgetown McCourt School of Public Policy

  State budgets are set to shrink significantly in 2025 as the era of post-pandemic federal aid, record spending, and tax cuts comes to an end. Anticipated cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other federal safety net programs will shift costs to states, forcing policymakers to choose between raising taxes or cutting spending. How are states working to address these challenges? We’ll hear from three different state contexts in fireside chats with funders and advocates from DC, OH and NY who will share how they have successfully championed and defended laws to increase taxes on the wealthy and corporations to fund critical investments in education and early childhood; faced repeated attacks on the income tax and documented the harm and impact of those cuts; and are working to proactively explain the fiscal impact of the federal budget and tax cuts in 2025. Learn how these advocates are exposing the harm caused by inadequate and inequitable revenue systems and making the case for a more equitable path forward.
