I was on the Domestic Campaigns conference call Tuesday night. Jos Linn led the call. Meredith Dodson, manager of domestic campaigns and currently on maternity leave, was on the call, as was Jinny Vogts, RESULTS Board member, and Joanne Carter, Executive Director of RESULTS.
The way things look, the campaigns this year will focus on appropriations for HeadStart and daycare; healthcare for all; and refundable tax credits (making the $8500 income threshold for the Child Tax Credit permanent, and the Earned Income Tax Credit for single/childless taxpayers).
I made an impassioned plea for RESULTS to work on Immigration Reform, since current US Immigration policy creates poverty and denies undocumented workers protection under Minimum Wage and Workers Compensation laws. I didn't get anything but a polite response, so I don't think I was effective in arguing my case. But I tried.
