**Debt Ceilings, Federal Shutdowns and Deficits—oh my!**
*Understanding the federal budget fight and what’s at stake for our movements*

A big fight is underway over the federal budget and the debt ceiling. Different sides are struggling for political advantage. And the government may shut down. What’s at stake in this fight? Why does it matter for our movements?

Economics is mystified – for a reason. We want to demystify the conversation so we can understand: *How does the Biden budget compare to a social justice agenda? What are the MAGA/Republican political goals? Will they be successful in devastating what remains of social programs? How can we use the next few election cycles to shift this fight and win our movement’s long-term demands?*

Join Convergence Magazine and Seed the Vote on June 1st at 4pm PT / 7pm ET to unpack this budget battle, and to discuss how we can use it to fight the Right and grow our movements.

We will be joined by economist Eric Verhoogen, San Francisco Rising Executive Director Emily Lee, and Seed the Vote leader Jason Negrón-Gonzales. (at 04:00PM)
