Virtual Event: The Cost of Financial Insecurity: A Conversation about Democracy, Divisiveness, and Civic Engagement – Oct 30
Posted by Urban Institute on October 29, 2024
New research from the Urban Institute and Citizen Data reveals a strong correlation between financial well-being and civic activities, such as voting, volunteering, and donating to political parties. The research also shows that financially secure people are more likely to be satisfied with democracy, more likely to trust election results, and more open to reducing social divisions than those who are struggling financially. Collectively, these findings suggest that people with greater financial well-being have more political power, which undermines our nation’s commitment to representative democracy. But the findings also suggest that investing in financial well-being may strengthen our country’s civic institutions and democratic norms.
Join the Urban Institute and a panel of experts to learn more about these findings and discuss strategies to enhance financial well-being and repair the social fabric of America.
This event will be held virtually on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at 3:00 PM.
