WASHINGTON, D.C.—As we gear up for the presidential conventions and the upcoming election, talk about the Ryan budget will only increase as both political parties discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the proposed plan. So far, there has been little discussion of the impact on Hispanics, and to rectify this NCLR (National Council of La Raza) will host a telephonic press briefing to discuss how the proposed Ryan budget would affect the nation’s Latino families.
Please join NCLR experts as they explain how the Ryan budget plan would impact Latinos’ access to healthcare, education, housing, workforce development, Social Security and tax refunds. For each issue area, an NCLR expert will address the following three questions:
- How important is each program area to Latinos?
- What are the proposals in the Ryan budget for each issue area?
- How would these proposed changes in the Ryan budget affect Latinos?
