SUMMARY:IMC Statewide Call on the Economy — A Winning Issue
DESCRIPTION:When we talk about the U.S. economy\, we win\, because the Trump administration has badly mishandled the decent economy inherited from President Joe Biden. \n\n\n\nOur goal for the next statewide call is for you to have more productive conversations when speaking with Americans concerned about our economy and our future.We are privileged to have the opportunity to discuss economic issues with Tim Cheston\, who has an extensive background in international economics\, at our statewide call on Tuesday\, October 28\, at 7 PM. \n\n\n\nMr. Cheston has spent his career in international economics and development working on a wide variety of projects including social protection\, labor projects\, health services\, and microfinance. He is currently a Research Fellow at the Center for International Development’s Growth Lab at the Harvard Kennedy School. He is speaking with us based on his deep understanding of international economic issues\, not as representative of the Center. \n\n\n\nWhen you sign up\, please use the questions field to ask your questions and also indicate your level of understanding of economics\, so Mr. Cheston can tailor his opening remarks. \n\n\n\n\nGet Zoom Link
