SUMMARY:New Better Arguments Project's Resources
DESCRIPTION:The Better Arguments Project is proud to share new resources that are designed to help Americans bridge divides\, not by papering over them\, but by exploring them more honestly together. Learn more about what it means to have a ​“Better Argument” — and how you can put our principles into practice — by attending one of their free trainings. Consider joining a Better Argument or hosting your own using their new toolkits. \nExplore the new opportunities below and let them know how you would like to #ArgueBetter. For questions and collaborations\, feel free to reach them directly at betterarguments@aspeninstitute.org. \nBetter Arguments Trainings \n\n\n\n\n\nTheir trainings will help concerned citizens of all types—from business leaders to educators to community leaders—become more effective changemakers. By attending a training\, you will become fluent in their 5 Principles of a Better Argument\, and you will learn how to put these principles into practice in your own communities and contexts. Register here for a free training with the Better Arguments team. \n\n\n\n\n\nLiberty and Equality \nThe push-pull between liberty and equality manifests in all kinds of ways — from discussions on the economy to freedom of speech to gun laws\, to name just a few. Many of today’s most heated political debates relate to which ideal should be prioritized\, or how to strike the right balance between liberty and equality. Host a Better Argument on liberty and equality using our toolkit. \nVoter ID Laws \nToday\, one of the most significant debates around voting rights relates to voter identification laws. Proponents argue that voter ID laws can instill confidence in our democratic system by limiting voter fraud. Meanwhile\, opponents say that voter ID laws place an undue burden on voters and reduce participation. Ideally\, elections are both secure and accessible\, and voter ID laws are one of many ways that the tension between security and access plays out. Host a Better Argument on voter ID using our toolkit. \nTech Boom Tensions \nThe creation of a robust\, local tech economy — and the attraction of the high-wage earners who work in it — can be transformative for a local economy. But others wonder how their community will ensure equitable access to these new opportunities. High-tech economic gains may be real\, but are the spoils enjoyed by all? Host a Better Argument on tech boom tensions using our toolkit.

SUMMARY:New Report and Webinar from Building Movement Project - On the Frontlines: Nonprofits Led by People of Color Confront COVID-19 and Structural Racism
DESCRIPTION:On the Frontlines: Nonprofits Led by People of Color Confront COVID-19 and Structural Racism\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more in the Building Movement Project’s national webinar on October 20th\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n“We’re just at the beginning. The bumpy part has yet to happen.” \n“I can’t even foresee the breadth and depth of the continued suffering at the community level.” \n“When we get out of this\, six months later\, a huge disproportionate number of leaders of color will disappear from this work because of the burnout.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese reflections from people of color (POC) who lead nonprofits are part of a new report being released today by the Building Movement Project and SolidarityIs. Our national report\, On the Frontlines: Nonprofits Led by People of Color Confront COVID-19 and Structural Racism\, is based on an online survey of 433 executive directors and one-on-one interviews with 41 leaders.\nBuilding Movement Project’s report makes five key findings with one overarching message: it is clear that there will be no return to normalcy in the wake of the pandemic\, economic instability\, and the national uprisings to address anti-Black racism. Leaders of color are concerned that the crisis will get worse in the months ahead as their organizations adapt programs and activities to make up for government gaps. At the same time\, POC leaders are motivated by the uprisings and the possibility of meaningful systemic change. \nWatch video testimonials from POC leaders about the report findings here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilding Movement Project is grateful to the many executive directors who shared their experiences with them\, and are inspired by their commitment to their organizations and communities. They encourage you to read and share the report\, use the recommendations\, and attend their October 20th webinar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister in advance here

SUMMARY:NextGen is Hiring 20 More Fellows ASAP!
DESCRIPTION:NextGen needs someone passionate about the election to make about 10 hours (or more) of calls with them during scheduled call times (normally 2–4 or 3–5 pm) and a few hours on Saturdays. You will be asked to ask people to fill out a survey about what issues they care most about\, ask if they are voting for Biden\, and walk through a script of other things we want to help them with (voter registration\, voting from home\, etc.) People who hit the most surveys completed weekly will be eligible for rewards. They need you to get as many surveys filled out every week as possible. They pay $1\,000 per month\, so about $17/hr. and that is on a 1099\, so taxes are not taken out on the front end. You will be paid on the 15th and the 31st of October and you will start on 10/9. You do not have to reside in Michigan! Looking to chat on Friday or Saturday with those that are interested and they will get you all set up to get ridin’ with Biden for young voters! \n\n\nInterested? Contact Staci Lowry at staci.lowry@nextgenamerica.org

SUMMARY:Note from The Honorable Steve Cohen: Cosponsor the CDBG Equity Act
DESCRIPTION:Note from The Honorable Steve Cohen:\nCosponsor the CDBG Equity Act\n\n Update the outdated allocation process and adopt a single formula that most accurately targets awards to need \nDear Colleague: \nI encourage you to cosponsor of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Equity Act\, which would update the current CDBG funding formula and adopt a single formula based on factors that currently reflect need. \nThe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) CDBG program is one of the largest and longest-standing federal block grants in existence\, annually allocating billions of dollars in federal assistance to state and local governments in support of local neighborhood revitalization\, housing rehabilitation\, and community and economic development efforts\, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. Entitlement communities are awarded funds from one of two formulas: ​“A” and ​“B\,” depending on whichever formula provides the greatest award. \nFormula A (established in 1974):                          Formula B (added in 1977): \n1. Population: 25%                                                               1. Population Growth Lag since 1960: 20% \n2. People in Poverty: 50%                                              2. People in Poverty: 30% \n3. Overcrowded Units: 25%                                           3. Pre-1940 Housing Units: 50% \nUnfortunately\, these award formulas are inequitable\, as they are based on outdated variables. Formula A grantees typically receive less funding than Formula B grantees because the measures for ​“people in poverty” and ​“population” are shared among communities in both formulas\, but ​“growth lag” and ​“pre-1940’s housing” are specific to Formula B grantees and are not necessarily tied to economic need. \nFor instance\, needy communities mostly demolished pre-1940 housing while well-off communities renovated their housing; therefore\, many high-need communities do not qualify for Formula B. Additionally\, growth lag does not represent a community in need. Most communities built in the 1960’s are likely not to grow further due to intentional development restrictions in some areas\, a lack of available land\, or a decrease in household size.  As a result\, the communities will likely experience low or slightly declining growth when compared to the national average. Most of these communities are economically well. \nMy bill solves the problems that result from HUD’s dual formulas by adopting a single formula that targets funding to need. Based on a study done by Todd Richardson\, a Policy Development Researcher for HUD\, the new funding formula would utilize four new measures to determine CDBG allocations: \n1.  Poverty rate per person in families and elderly households: 50% \n2.  Female headed households with children under 18: 10% \n3.  Pre-1950 housing occupied by a poverty household: 30% \n4.  Overcrowded housing units (more than 1.01 persons per room): 10% \nThese variables would undoubtedly resolve the issues that exist between the dual formula methods in the following ways: \n\nThe removal of population size creates equity by measuring need rather than city size.\nThe use of poverty rate per person in families and elderly households corrects the issue of counting all college students as people in poverty.\nPre-1950’s housing occupied by a poverty household fixes the issues underlying the pre-1940’s housing by increasing the age range of houses that are not yet demolished in high-need communities and tying the community development need to families in poverty.\nOvercrowded housing remains because it targets concentrated poverty; however\, it receives a lower weight because concentrated poverty occurs in both high- and low-need communities.\n\nBy moving to one formula\, all jurisdictions can finally be measured using the same criteria\, and we can ensure that our neediest communities receive adequate funding. If you have additional questions about the CDBG Equity Act or would like to cosponsor\, please contact Alex Schnelle at alex.schnelle@mail.house.gov. \n  \nSincerely\, \nSteve Cohen \nMember of Congress
