The Big, Ugly Bill: What H.R. 1 Means for Nonprofits

H.R. 1 is more than just a policy shift, it’s a direct threat to the heart of the nonprofit sector.

We are joined by Janice Rocco, Chief of Staff at California Medical Association and Stacia Levenfeld, CEO of California Food Banks for a critical conversation on what H.R. 1 really means for your organization, your funding, and your community.
