SUMMARY:Public Banking: Financial Infrastructure for Guaranteed Income and a Just Economy
DESCRIPTION:  \nGuaranteed income—regular\, unconditional cash payments designed to reduce economic insecurity—has emerged as one of the most promising pathways to abolish poverty in the United States. But as communities across the country pilot these programs\, a major challenge remains: our current financial systems often fail the very people guaranteed income is meant to support. \nEnter public banking—a growing movement to create government-owned financial institutions that are explicitly built to serve the public good. With the right guiding mandates and structures\, public banks have the potential not only to solve the logistical hurdles of distributing guaranteed income at scale\, but to power a more just\, resilient\, and inclusive economy. At a time when the federal government is slashing funding for local action on climate and infrastructure\, public banks offer an opportunity to reclaim public power to shape our economic future. \nJoin us for a virtual roundtable to explore the possibilities that lie at the intersection of the guaranteed income and public banking movements. We’ll share new research from the Institute’s Policies for Action Guaranteed Income Research Hub\, hear from leading scholars and advocates\, and begin imagining how to create the financial infrastructure to support dignity\, equity\, and collective well-being. \nFeaturing: \n\nRepresentative Rashida Tlaib\, U.S. Representative\, 12th Congressional District of Michigan\nTerri Friedline\, Professor of Social Work\, University of Michigan\nDarrick Hamilton\, University Professor and Founding Director\, Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy\, The New School\nAmy Castro\, Co-Founder and Faculty Director\, Center for Guaranteed Income Research\, and Associate Professor\, University of Pennsylvania\nTrinity Tran\, Executive Director and Co-Founder\, California Public Banking Alliance\nGraham Steele\, Academic Fellow\, Rock Center for Corporate Governance\, Stanford Law School/Stanford Graduate School of Business\, and Fellow\, Financial Regulation\, Roosevelt Institute\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Financialization in Healthcare: How Wall Street Payouts Threaten Our Health
DESCRIPTION:How has the doctrine of maximizing short-term shareholder profits—part of the growing influence of financial actors and strategies termed financialization—come at the expense of patients and public health in the U.S.? \nJoin us on February 24 for a discussion of new research on the trillions of dollars extracted from the healthcare system through financial engineering practices like stock buybacks\, how this falls into a broader pattern of publicly traded companies prioritizing short-term shareholder payouts above all else\, and the impact of these practices on workers\, patients\, and innovation. \nDon’t miss the chance to hear from experts in health policy and political economy about how healthcare corporations are increasingly serving Wall Street\, with devastating implications for our healthcare system and patients\, and what we can do about it. \nSpeakers: \n\nVictor Roy\, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine and Community Health\, University of Pennsylvania; Director\, Health and Political Economy Project\nDonald Berwick\, MD\, MPP\, Lecturer of Health Care Policy\, Department of Health Care Policy\, Harvard Medical School; President Emeritus and Senior Fellow\, Institute for Healthcare Improvement; Former Administrator\, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services\nLenore Palladino\, Associate Professor of Economics & Public Policy\, University of Massachusetts Amherst\nModerated by Natalia Renta\, Associate Director\, Corporate Governance and Power\, Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund\n\nRegister Now\n  \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund (AFREF) and the Health and Political Economy Project (HPEP) at The New School’s Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy.

SUMMARY:ARPA Investments Building Toward an Equitable Economy: Envisioning an End to Medical Debt
DESCRIPTION:Too many Americans know the feeling of dread that comes with needing healthcare but worrying about how to pay for it. A simple visit to the doctor’s office or hospital may result in a bill that’s beyond what most can afford\, yet people have no choice but to risk their financial health for the sake of survival. This burden falls disproportionately on Black people\, people with low-incomes\, and people with disabilities\, further contributing to inequality and the racial wealth gap in the U.S. \nInspired by efforts to tackle medical debt across the country\, this conversation will ask: How can we translate momentum to cancel debt into efforts that prevent medical debt in the first place? And how can that momentum be an entry point into broader efforts to end medical debt through guaranteed healthcare for all? \nPlease join us to discuss statewide policies\, local organizing strategies\, and the national paradigm shift we need to ensure all Americans can access care without fear of debt. \nThis conversation is part of the From Local Innovation to Systemic Change: ARPA Investments Building Toward an Equitable Economy webinar series co-hosted by the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy’s Budget Equity Project and the Health and Political Economy Project. The series showcases local policy movements fueled by federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)\, as described in the Institute’s research\, and uplifts how these movements can drive large-scale policy shifts to increase economic and health equity. In case you missed it\, watch the first discussion in this series\, featuring local leaders taking action to address medical debt. \nSpeakers: \n\nKody H. Kinsley\, Secretary\, North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services\nDr. Luke Messac\, Author\, Your Money or Your Life: Debt Collection in American Medicine; Attending Physician\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Instructor in Emergency Medicine\, Harvard Medical School\nLindsey Muniak\, Medical Debt Organizer\, Debt Collective\nDr. Dave Chokshi\, Co-Chair\, Health and Political Economy Project\, Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy; Sternberg Family Professor of Leadership\, City College of New York; Former NYC Health Commissioner (moderator)\n\nRegister Now\n  \n\nPresented by the Budget Equity Project and the Health and Political Economy Project (Initiative’s of the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy)

SUMMARY:ARPA Investments Building Toward an Equitable Economy: Local Leaders Taking Action on Medical Debt
DESCRIPTION:How can local leadership spur structural economic change?  \nThe American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) provided state\, local\, territorial\, and Tribal governments with an unprecedented $350 billion in flexible funds to use for pandemic relief and longer-term\, transformational investments. The Institute’s research report Advancing Equity with the American Rescue Plan Act’s Local Recovery Funds describes how ARPA funds are sparking local innovation and catalyzing local policy movements throughout the country.  \nPlease join us for the first installment in our webinar series\, “From Local Innovation to Systemic Change: ARPA Investments Building Toward an Equitable Economy.” Co-hosted by the Institute’s Budget Equity Project and the Health and Political Economy Project\, this series will showcase ARPA-fueled policy movements that hold promise to drive large-scale policy shifts to increase economic and health equity. \nPart one of the series will showcase the proliferation of local medical debt cancellation efforts and discuss debt abolishment as a pathway toward systemic changes to prevent medical debt and ensure affordable\, quality health care for all. During the first webinar\, local leaders and advocates will share how they directed ARPA and other public funds toward erasing residents’ medical debts\, the direct benefits of those investments\, and how they are working toward comprehensive solutions to the medical debt crisis. \nSpeakers: \n\nState Rep. Michele Grim (D-Toledo)\, District 43\, Ohio State House of Representatives\nSamuel Delgado\, Programs Manager\, Central Florida Jobs with Justice\nDr. Naman Shah\, Director\, Division of Medical and Dental Affairs\, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health\nDr. Victor Roy\, Director\, Health and Political Economy Project\, Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy\nSarah Treuhaft\, Director of Policy and Partnerships\, Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy (moderator)\n\nRegister Now\n  \n\nPresented by the Budget Equity Project and the Health and Political Economy Project (Initiative’s of the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy)

SUMMARY:Advancing Equity with ARPA Recovery Funds: Learnings from the Field
DESCRIPTION:The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) provided an unprecedented $120 billion in flexible fiscal recovery funding to city and county governments to use for pandemic relief and longer-term\, transformational investments. Guided by the federal government’s equity policy\, localities were encouraged to target resources to communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and make investments that address systemic inequities. Many municipalities still have ARPA resources to allocate\, and they face a looming deadline of December 31\, 2024 to obligate the funds. \nPlease join Race Forward\, the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE)\, the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy at The New School\, and the U.S. Department of Treasury for an educational session on how cities and counties are using their ARPA funds to make investments that advance racial and economic equity. \nDuring the session\, local officials who are members of the GARE network will describe how they are centering equity throughout the process of selecting\, designing\, implementing\, and evaluating ARPA investments. In addition\, representatives from the Treasury will provide an overview of program guidance and data updates\, and the Institute will present findings and resources from its research examining equity in ARPA investments. \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Rashaad Abdur-Rahman\, Director of State Strategies\, Race Forward (moderator)\nSarah Treuhaft\, Director of Policy and Partnerships\, Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy\nShireen Malekafzali\, Chief Equity Officer\, San Mateo County\nMarc Coudert\, Climate Adaptation & Resilience Manager\, Office of Resilience\, City of Austin\nMira Patel\, Director of Strategic Partnerships\, U.S. Department of Treasury\nJames Bond\, Policy Advisor\, U.S. Department of Treasury\n\nRegister Now\n  \n\nPresented by the Budget Equity Project (an initiative of the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy)\, Race Forward\, the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE)\, and the U.S. Department of Treasury.

SUMMARY:ARPA Recovery Funds\, Race\, and Equity: What’s the Score?
DESCRIPTION:The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) provided an unprecedented $130 billion in flexible funding for cities and counties to use for pandemic relief and longer-term\, transformational investments. For the first time ever\, federal recovery funds were guided by the Biden administration’s policy to advance equity by targeting resources to the communities of color\, tribal communities\, and low-income communities disproportionately negatively impacted by the pandemic and systemic inequities. \nRecognizing the potential for the ARPA investments to address long-standing inequities\, the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy at The New School is tracking how cities and counties are spending their ARPA fiscal recovery funds and documenting best practices\, examples\, and lessons learned. Anchoring our analysis is a 40-question ARPA Equity Assessment rubric that measures performance across six dimensions of equitable public investment. \nJoin us for the launch of our report and interactive website on Tuesday\, September 24 at 10:00-11:00 AM PT / 1:00-2:00 PM ET\, where you will find equity assessments of 170 cities and counties\, dozens of case studies of promising ARPA investments\, policy briefs\, and more. Our goal is to equip community advocates and local government officials with actionable data and examples you can use to advance equitable public investments with remaining ARPA funds and other federal and local resources. \nThe virtual event will feature a presentation of our findings followed by a panel discussion with local and federal leaders working to leverage ARPA recovery funds for transformative change. \nSpeakers include: \n\nToni Preckwinkle\, President\, Cook County Board of Commissioners\, Cook County\, Illinois\nJoseph Cobb\, Vice Mayor\, Roanoke\, Virginia\nRichmond Vincent\, President & CEO\, Goodwill Industries of the Valley\, Roanoke\, Virginia\nMichael Russo\, Vice President of Policy and Programs\, California Catalyst\nSarah Treuhaft\, Director of Policy and Partnerships\, Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy\nDr. Darrick Hamilton\, Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy and Founding Director\, Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy\n\nRegister Now\n  \n\nPresented by the Budget Equity Project (an initiative of the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy).

SUMMARY:Hernán Santa Cruz Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy and the Office of Equity\, Inclusion\, and Social Justice at The New School. \nAs part of the Human Rights 75 Initiative\, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy convened a group of leading global economists at The New School on Thursday\, April 20 from 1:30-3:30pm for a pivotal Hernán Santa Cruz Dialogue and panel discussion on the potential for a global Human Rights Economy. \n\n\n\n\nThe UN Human Rights Office inaugurated the Hernán Santa Cruz Dialogue Series in October 2020\, creating a dynamic platform for exchanging innovative thoughts\, expertise\, and approaches related to economic\, social and cultural rights\, the right to development\, the 2030 Agenda\, and Sustainable Development Goals in light of the current global challenges. \nThe Dialogue Series is named after Hernán Santa Cruz Barceló\, a key figure in the development of the UN human rights framework who played a crucial role in incorporating economic and social rights into the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. \nThis dynamic discussion as a part of the Human Rights 75 Initiative has a two-fold objective of bringing together leading economic experts to build the Human Rights Economy concept and to use the Hernán Santa Cruz Dialogue to raise the visibility of the concept in a way that encourages greater awareness on the need for a Human Rights Economy and to encourage increased academic discourse and policy-maker dialogue on the subject.

SUMMARY:The Color of Wealth: The Deconstruction of Greenwood and Tulsa’s Legacy of Loss
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Institute on Race and Political Economy and the Justice for Greenwood Foundation. \nThe widening racial wealth gap in the United States is a troubling sign that millions of families are not equipped to offer better opportunities for future generations. Wealth allows families to make investments in homes\, in education\, in their own health\, in businesses\, and in other assets that create financial security for families and prosperity for entire communities. \nThe Institute for Race and Political Economy at The New School and the Justice for Greenwood Foundation\, Inc. invite you to a live event and timely revelation of data on the widening racial wealth gap in Tulsa\, Oklahoma – site of one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism on U.S. soil – the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. \nBefore that day in 1921\, hundreds of thriving Black-owned businesses and organizations lined the streets of Tulsa’s celebrated Greenwood district. Among them were regionally celebrated destinations like the upscale Stratford Hotel\, the state-of-the-art Williams Dreamland Theater\, and the first American Black-owned newspaper with a weekly national circulation\, The Tulsa Star. In a matter of hours\, an angry White mob slaughtered\, maimed\, and terrorized hundreds of Greenwood’s residents and burned nearly 40 square blocks of homes and businesses to the ground. \nWhat is the state of the racial wealth gap today\, 100 years later? How do chronic and ongoing racist policies and politics enrich White Tulsans at the expense of Black wealth\, opportunity\, and well-being? \nThis event will feature findings from the upcoming report: The Color of Wealth in Tulsa\, Oklahoma\, written by Ofronama Biu\, Grieve Chelwa\, Christopher Famighetti\, Kate Richey\, Damario Solomon-Simmons\, and Darrick Hamilton. \nDownload the Color of Wealth: The Destruction of Greenwood and Tulsa’s Legacy of Loss: Advance Executive Summary here.

SUMMARY:The Role of Race\, Labor Markets\, and Education in Building an Equitable Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Presented by WorkRise and The New School. \nUnderstanding how labor markets function for different racial and ethnic groups during recessions can reveal structural inequities in our economy and inform efforts to rebuild after the COVID-19 pandemic. Though educational attainment has long been regarded as the primary engine of economic mobility\, new insights show it may not act as a buffer against economic hardship during recessions equally across racial and ethnic groups. \nNew research from Darrick Hamilton\, the Henry Cohen professor of economics and urban policy and founding director of the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy at The New School\, demonstrates disparities in labor market experiences for Black\, Latinx\, and white workers during recessions and illustrates the unique impact of the current recession compared with previous downturns. Join WorkRise and The New School for an exclusive research briefing with Hamilton\, a member of WorkRise’s Leadership Board. The briefing will be followed by a discussion with civic\, business\, and philanthropic leaders on bold solutions for dismantling structural inequities in education and the labor market and building an equitable recovery. \nWatch the discussion.
