Prelude to the 50th Anniversary on the War on Poverty

January 2014 will mark the 50-year anniversary of the War on Poverty and present the antipoverty community with an opportunity to both reflect on what progress we have or have not made since that milestone year, as well as to set out a vision throughout the year for how we can move more families to prosperity in the next 50 years.

Join the Communications Collaborative and special guests Half in Ten and the Center for American Progress for a discussion about how to advance critical goals to creating lasting economic security for struggling families.

Speakers include:

• Jann Jackson, Senior Associate, Policy Reform and Advocacy, The Annie E. Casey Foundation
• John Halpin, Fellow, Center for American Progress
• Erik Stegman, Manager, Half in Ten at the Center for American Progress
