35 E 21st Street
New York, NY 10010 - 6:30PM – 8:30PM EDT
One year into his electoral victory, Trump and his administration have made sweeping declarations for a new agenda to reform education, immigration, criminal justice, and more—despite meeting intense gridlock in getting legislation passed on any of it. The back and forth of policymakers on Capitol Hill and other experts—on both sides of the aisle—have decried his positions for fanning the flames of inequality.
As we mark the first year of the new Administration, has the state of inequality shifted? Is the White House to blame, or longer-term obstacles of political polarization preventing progress? Is there any reason to have more optimism for the remaining three years?
On November 16, join ¹ú²úÊÓÆµ NYC and the  for a conversation on the prospects of solving inequality under the Trump Administration.
