ABSTRACT
In October 1977, Lupe Anguiano testified before Congress about President Carter's welfare reform proposal. Representing the National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC), Anguiano drew on her experiences living and working with AFDC families in San Antonio, Texas. As her testimony suggests, the NWPC supported Carter's emphasis on employment as an alternative to welfare but demanded policies that provided the well-paid jobs and support services that would bring poor single mothers out of poverty.
