Taxing Consumption and Work: The Cost to Black Households

This webinar examines how H.R.1 reshapes fiscal responsibility across levels of government, how these changes raise the cost of living for Black households and undermine Black affordability for low‑ and moderate‑income families and the Black middle class, and what federal and state policymakers should do now to prevent deepening inequities and further strain on Black middle‑class stability.
