Now that the US election has been decided, what will the new administration mean for the American safety net, and how does the American political story influence how we understand what is possible regarding policy, allocation of resources, funding, innovation, development, and care.

In our second panel discussion hosted in collaboration with the LBJ School of Public Affairs, we explored how the outcome of the 2024 US election may shape the future of the social safety net.

Filmed in front of an audience at the LBJ School's Bass Lecture Hall, the conversation was moderated by American Compassion host Rebecca McInroy. Our featured speakers were Barbara Chapman, Glen Chambers, Bob Wood, and Paul Stekler.
