Our Vision
The Challenge
Inequalities rooted in racism, justified by outdated economic ideas, and maintained by a wealthy few, have left us all less secure and resilient.

Advocate for cash tax credits
We’re working to update and extend cash tax credits, which provide stability so people can get ahead, benefiting families, businesses, and whole communities.
Families are freeing themselves from financial insecurity and corporate coercion.
Impact
Our support boosted the start of 100 guaranteed income pilots across the nation.
