Heinrich will discuss his bipartisan legislation, the Two-Generation Economic Empowerment Act, which he will re-introduce with U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) to increase opportunities for families living in poverty. The bill aligns and links existing systems and funding streams to target both parents and children with support aimed at increasing economic security, educational success, social capital, and the health and wellbeing of whole families.
WHAT: U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich will be a featured speaker during a session hosted by Anne Mosle, Vice President at the Aspen Institute and Executive Director of Ascend at the Aspen Institute. The Aspen Forum on Children and Families is an agenda-setting event hosted by Ascend at the Aspen Institute to bring together policymakers, practitioners, parents, researchers, and philanthropists to put forth concrete policy ideas for the new Administration, Congress, and states.
