  Indiana's Tax Inequity: Securing Revenue for Indiana's Future and Who Pays

  Indiana’s tax system is upside-down, with the wealthy paying a far lesser share of their income to tax than low- and middle-income families. That’s according to the latest edition of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy’s "Who Pays?" which comes at a key moment when Indiana policymakers are considering sweeping changes to the state’s tax system, including some that would make the system even less fair while also compromising our ability to fund shared priorities such as good schools, reliable infrastructure, and affordable health and child care.

  Join us on Zoom to hear from leading national experts about Indiana's flawed taxation system and how the state could better rearrange its budgetary priorities.

  Attendees will learn...

  • The difference between regressive and progressive taxes, and how they affect low income families
  • How the tax system in Indiana could be meaningfully improved for greater equity
  • What opportunities the upcoming state legislative session presents to fix our budget so that it better serves all Hoosiers

  The Hidden Cost of Buy-Now-Pay-Later Products
  

  Afterpay. Klarna. Affirm. Ever heard of them? Buy-now-pay-later loan products are exploding into the U.S. economy like an invasive species that doesn't behave like the forms of credit we already know. As more and more people across the nation use this payment form in order to afford daily necessities, a new report by the Indiana Community Action Poverty Institute explores the disproportionate risks and harms faced by low-income individuals and what the CFPB's new regulations mean for the industry.

  Join us on Zoom to learn more about these small dollar loan products that have the power to wreak havoc on Hoosier family finances. 

  Attendees will learn about...

  • How buy-now-pay-later products actually work and why people are using them

  • The benefits and risks of these small dollar loans

  • Policy changes necessary to protect users of buy-now-pay-later products

  Speakers include...
