Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says that to avoid a slow and protracted recovery and protect workers and communities most harmed over the past 12 months, the country must “act big.” That is why we are writing today to ​ ​ encourage you to consider the economic, fiscal, and public policy rationales behind including in the president’s forthcoming economic recovery and jobs plan a provision that offers a pathway to citizenship to undocumented individuals—particularly those working in jobs deemed essential to the country’s critical infrastructure during this pandemic and their families, as well as Dreamers and people with Temporary Protected Status. Such a policy would increase wages ​ and productivity throughout the U.S. economy, create jobs, generate additional tax revenue, strengthen worker protections for immigrant and native workers alike, and lift many families out of poverty. ​ There are today an estimated 10.4 million undocumented immigrants in the country, 5 million of ​ whom are working in essential occupations and industries.

Vinay Harpalani, J.D., Ph.D.* Abstract Recent, tragic events have brought more attention to hate and bias crimes against Asian Americans. It is important to address these crimes and prevent them in the future, but the discourse on Asian Americans should not end there. Many non-Asian Americans are unaware or only superficially aware of the vast diversity that exists among us, along with the challenges posed by that diversity. Some have basic knowledge of the immigration and exclusion of Asian Americans, the internment of Japanese Americans which was upheld in Korematsu v.

  • PBS' “TO the CONTRARY” Baby Boomers & the Election
    PBS’ “TO THE CONTRARY” Baby Boomers & The Election; Incarcerated Women October 7, 2016 Host: Bonnie Erbe Panelists: Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, Ann Stone, Linda Chavez, & Atima Omara PLEASE CREDIT ALL EXCERPTS OR QUOTES TO “PBS’ TO THE CONTRARY” Bonnie Erbe: This week on To The Contrary: First, female baby boomers and their impact on the presidential election. Then, behind the headlines: The challenges facing women prisoners as they reenter society. Hello, I'm Bonnie Erbe. Welcome to "To The Contrary," a discussion of news and social trends from diverse perspectives. Up first, the boomer election. The presidential race is heading into the final weeks and both campaigns are in overdrive. There is one surprising section of the electorate that feels its issues are not being discussed. Boomer women are reliable voters and are expected to have a big say in the outcome of the election. Should the candidates focus more attention on them? This week, Democratic pollster Celinda Lake released a survey that found boomer women have three top concerns. Celinda Lake: One, they're extremely worried about their current economic status and retirement security. They're worried about rising prices and rising taxes; They feel very short on money. The second thing we found is that they overwhelmingly, and bipartisanly, believe that social security is an important issue. 71 percent say it's important for candidates to address this issue, but they don't think the candidates are talking enough about it. And the third thing, and the really interesting thing for the future, is we found that care-giving was the sleeper issue out there.

NEERA TANDEN: Our economy has not worked really well for those groups of people and we need to be honest about it. I think we need to have bigger ideas to address these problems.

But today, we’re starting out with a new feature. Occasionally we will be doing half-hour interviews with female thought leaders in the United States and our first interview is with Neera Tanden, President of the center for American progress. Let's talk a little bit about who you are and how you got to a position that most people outside of Washington wouldn’t know what it's all about, but to clue them in, one of the most powerful democrats in town. NEERA TANDEN: Thank you! I mean, I actually feel really honored to work at the Center for American Progress because the center is really a place that works on public policy and we have an advocacy arm cap action and both of those are really both of those are really specific institutions are really about making people's lives better. The policies we work, the advocacy we do is actually, you know it sounds hokey these days but it's actually about expanding opportunity whether it's education or tax policy or healthcare.

  • Neera Tanden Withdraws Nomination for OMB Director
    https://www.govexec.com/management/2021/03/neera-tanden-withdraws-nomination-omb- director/172407/ Management Neera Tanden Withdraws Nomination for OMB Director This comes after senators raised concerns about her partisan history and mean tweets. MARCH 2, 2021 COURTNEY BUBLÉ Neera Tanden withdrew her nomination to be Office of Management and Budget director on Tuesday evening after several senators said they wouldn’t vote for her. Tanden, president and CEO of the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, said in a letter to President Biden it was the “honor of a lifetime to be considered for this role and for the faith placed in me” and “I appreciate how hard you and your team at the White House has worked to win my confirmation.” She acknowledged the path to her confirmation seems unlikely and didn’t want “continued consideration of my nomination to be a distraction from your other priorities,” she wrote. Several senators (including one Democrat) said they won't vote for Tanden in the past several days and the Senate committees that must advance her nomination before she can receive a vote in the full chamber postponed their votes last week. The opposition is largely about her partisan history and tweets critical of lawmakers that she deleted prior to her nomination, a factor that has raised questions about whether or not she’s facing a double standard as a woman of color. “I have accepted Neera Tanden’s request to withdraw her name from nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget,” said Biden in a statement.
