It’s no secret that the millennial generation’s prospects are lower than their parents’—but this is not an inevitable “new normal,” as we’ve been led to believe. At Acton on Tap, Jared Meyer, fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, will reveal that the millennials’ plight is the result of a generational war taking place in Washington, one in which government policies are systematically stacked against young Americans to bolster their elders.

Over the past few years there has been an increasing awareness of a need to change the models used to address the challenge of poverty in the U.S. and abroad. PovertyCure has aimed to share the voices of leaders that are asking for a new paradigm that puts the person at the center. Based on her work at the PovertyCure initiative and her experience working in her home country of Nicaragua, Anielka will share some insights regarding what communities need to thrive and how we can be part of the solution.
