Spending on our collective well-being helps people keep a roof over their heads, feed their families, and help grow our overall economy.
This recent wave of organizing is a direct response to corporate consolidation of power that has harmed Black and brown workers across the country.
The Build Back Better Act would dramatically help working people and families. Now, the passage of this once-in-a-lifetime framework is in the hands of a few legislators who are beholden to corporations and the ultrarich.
A commitment to paying Black women what we’re worth isn’t just about money. It’s about making sure we—and our communities—have a seat at the table.
I am elated to share this first note with you as president of Demos!
