All right Mamas! With mugs of Fair Trade coffee in hand, this week we’re tackling our Federal Budget! YES! YES! YES! Wait, calm down, it is exciting, but keep your knickers on. Women primarily manage household budgets but many of us don’t know what our federal budget is buying. This budget impacts our children’s future as much—or more—as our personal budgets. Let’s get educated and collectively begin shaping this budget—an enormous amount of money/opportunity for security, health and wellbeing for our entire global family.
Watch this movie from Ben Cohen and True Majority Action. It’s a few years old … but the relative numbers are still accurate.
