On April 28, President Biden announced his latest legislative proposal, The American Families Plan (AFP). It’s a bold and transformative effort to help the country recover from the coronavirus and recession. The AFP would target resources to many of those who need them most: people with low incomes, communities of color, and children who have been disproportionately harmed by the coronavirus, recession, and years of underinvestment. The plan would directly impact people with low incomes in many ways, and we’ve summarized our top-10 provisions in a new blog.
In addition, Hannah Matthews went on the air on C-SPAN and NPR in Ohio this week to discuss key provisions in the American Families Plan.

Kisha Bird Steps Down as Director of Youth Policy; Nia West-Bey Succeeds Her
After nearly 13 years of extraordinary creativity and leadership at CLASP—and as Director of Youth Policy since 2014—Kisha Bird will depart the organization on June 4 for a major new step in her life: to move to Ghana with her new husband and focus on her new business, Travel Deeper Inc. Nia West-Bey, PhD has assumed the role of Director of Youth Policy, effective May 1, allowing the two of them to continue collaborating on a transition for several weeks. Nia has played a leadership role on the Youth Team since 2016 and brings an extraordinary background before she came to CLASP, as a researcher and nonprofit executive with deep expertise and commitment to young people.
