Barriers to Family Economic Mobility in North Carolina
This webinar will focus on the lack of economic mobility for many families in North Carolina. Whitney will bring the historical context into focus, and why place and race are integral to the conversation.

Helping Families Gain Economic Security
This last webinar will focus on solutions. Whitney will focus on key policy drivers of mobility – racial desegregation, reducing the wealth gap, building social capital, high-quality schools, and two-parent households.
Who should attend? Anyone interested in learning more about poverty and its impact on children in North Carolina. Organizations and volunteers interested in becoming more involved in policy advocacy to increase economic mobility opportunities for families are especially encouraged to participate.
