How Tax Code Drives Inequality and What You Can Do About It

The Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED), a national organization advocating policy that empowers low-income and moderate-income families, is hosting an upcoming webinar on How the Federal Tax Code is Driving Inequality and What You Can Do About It. The webinar will discuss how tax code provisions that incentivize certain actions - like buying a home, saving for education, or contributing to retirement accounts - disproportionately benefit households with higher income, reduce government revenues, and limit benefits for low- and moderate-income households. Since tax code reform is being discussed in Congress, it is crucial for tax practitioners and advocates to be informed and call for an inclusive and equitable tax code.

The webinar takes place on Thursday, November 7 at 9am CST and is hosted by the Asset Funders Network, PolicyLink, CFED, Center for Global Policy Solutions, Center for Social Development, ColorOfChange, Greenlining Institute, Insight Center for Community Economic Development, Institute on Assets and Social Policy, Institute for Women’s Policy Research, National CAPACD, National Urban League, National Council of La Raza, New America Foundation, Oklahoma Native Assets Coalition, PICO National Network, and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center.
