National Priorities Project Bringing the Federal Budget Home

Webinars

Data For Democracy

The Data for Democracy Webinar Series is dedicated to helping our constituents – elected officials, labor leaders, members of the media, organizers and community groups – use NPP's data and tools more effectively. In general, webinars will last one hour, will be interactive and will include state and – when possible – even more localized data. With each new webinar, we will release a powerpoint presentation, talking points and data sheets so that people can customize the materials.

Out of Balance

Out of Balance, is the first webinar in our 2010 Data for Democracy series. Out of Balance will build participants' capacity to analyze the forthcoming FY2011 President's budget. Out of Balance provides a critical look at the link between federal funds and state and local budgets. It offers a solid and accessible critique of national spending priorities, with a focus on military spending. State-level figures are available for every state to help participants “bring home” the webinar's main messages.
