Everyone Is
Deserving
A Toolkit on TANF Reauthorization and Welfare Reform
Here's
a toolkit for groups working on welfare reauthorization, as well
as for policymakers, journalists and anyone seeking to understand
the impact of the 1996 welfare reform law or TANF. Congress must
reauthorize TANF ("Temporary Assistance to Needy Families")
by September 30, 2002. The materials assembled in the Toolkit will
help you participate effectively in the process.
What you'll find in the publication:
- Proposed changes to U.S. welfare policy that challenge people
to address the structural causes of poverty and inequality;
- Statements by AFSC and other faith groups that place welfare
reform in a larger context of poverty and income inequality;
- Fact sheets and articles noting welfare reform's impact on women
of color, immigrants, and the "working poor;"
- Six-page resources list to help users access studies, policy
proposals, and national and grassroots organizations;
- And much more!
Everyone is Deserving is available for $7 (5 copies for
$30), postage included, from: AFSC Community Relations Unit,
1501 Cherry St., Philadelphia, PA 19102. For information, call
