Welcome to "This Robin Hood Moment" with your hosts Crystal Cooper and Kevin Thompson. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the groundbreaking work of the New York State Child Poverty Reduction Advisory Council (CPRAC), established under the Child Poverty Reduction Act signed into law in December 2021. This initiative sets a bold goal of reducing child poverty in New York State by 50% by 2031. We explore how this legislation came to be and the role it plays in shaping policies aimed at lifting children out of poverty.
Our featured guest, Kate Breslin, President & CEO of the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy (SCAA), played a pivotal role in bringing this landmark legislation to fruition. Under Kate’s leadership, SCAA led the charge in advocating for the Child Poverty Reduction Act. She joins us to discuss the council’s work, upcoming recommendations, and the potential policy changes that could reshape the lives of New York’s most vulnerable families. We also touch on the ongoing process of drafting and refining the Council’s recommendations, leading up to the final vote scheduled for December 18, 2024, and what’s next for the fight against child poverty.
Tune in for insightful discussions on shaping policies to uplift communities and #FightPoverty. Subscribe for more episodes wherever you listen to your podcasts.
