NPP In Action
"In teaching middle-schoolers about the federal budget, I found NPP's website, particularly the trade-offs, to be a shocking eye opener to many of the students on how we spend our money as a nation."
- Liam Bowler, Peace Campaign Coordinator

Data for Democracy | 2010 Webinar SeriesWelcome to National Priorities Project's Data for Democracy Webinar Series
The Data for Democracy Webinar Series is dedicated to helping our constituents – elected officials, labor leaders, members of the media, organizers and community groups – use NPP's data and tools more effectively. In general, webinars will last one hour, will be interactive and will include state and – when possible – even more localized data. With each new webinar, we will release a powerpoint presentation, talking points and data sheets so that people can customize the materials.
Out of Balance, is the first webinar in our 2010 Data for Democracy series. Out of Balance will build participants' capacity to analyze the forthcoming FY2011 President's budget, released February 1. Facilitated by Greg Speeter and Chris Hellman, Out of Balance, provides a critical look at the link between federal funds and state and local budgets. It offers a solid and accessible critique of national spending priorities, with a focus on military spending. State-level figures are available for every state to help participants “bring home” the webinar's main messages.
