Institution. Hello. Welcome to all of those of you who braved the weather to join us today, and also to our online audience. We appreciate you joining us. My name is tara watson, i direct the center for Economic Opportunities at here right here at brookings. A year ago, someone asked me to join a project. It was under the convergence collaborative, which i did not know much about. The goal was to discuss policies to support working families. I quickly learned this approach was really serious about bringing together people from across the ideological spectrum and about facilitating productive conversation. So several dozen of us spent quite a bit of time for the past over the past year producing a report. Which you will hear a little bit about today, especially in the first panel.
