#KeepMarching RSVP: COVID-19 + taxes, the economy, and paid family leave
What: Online #KeepMarching meeting
When: Tuesday, April 7, 8 pm ET/5 pm PT
Where: Online, from anywhere with a good Internet connection, via Zoom
The current health crisis is upending life as we know it, including how we work, spend money, maintain our relationships, think about the future, and so much more. At this meeting, we’ll be considering just a few of these things: the implications of COVID-19 for taxes, the economy, and paid family leave.
With April 15 just around the corner, we’ll be talking taxes. Amy Matsui, Director of Income Security at the National Women’s Law Center, will be leading this discussion, including showing us how patterns of discrimination are entrenched in our tax system. *Amy will also share tips on the new tax extensions available due to the COVID-19 crisis.
How are shutdowns and slowdowns in the retail, entertainment, and other sectors affecting our economy? Indivar Dutta-Gupta, Co-Executive Director of the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality, will help us think about the pandemic’s economic impacts and what types of actions our elected leaders will need to take over the coming year to protect our families, communities, and economy. *Indivar will also share tips on the new loans for small businesses due to the COVID-19 crisis.
As of April 2nd, the United States finally has a limited national paid sick days and family leave policy, enacted through the coronavirus relief negotiations in Congress. Ruth Martin, who leads MomsRising’s Workplace Justice team, will talk about who is covered, who is left out, and what you can do now -- and what we can do about expanding coverage together. *Ruth will also share tips on how to access new family/medical leave due to the COVID-19 crisis.
