A growing number of Americans believe that the American dream is increasingly out of reach. Polls have found record levels of parents concerned that their children will be worse off economically, and recent college graduates are being greeted by the weakest job market since 2020.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) will reflect on what he describes as America’s spiritual crisis, a time defined by deepening economic insecurity, growing social disconnection, and widespread distrust in both government and each other. Sen. Warnock believes that we can begin to heal our collective spirit by restoring the promise of the American dream. That starts with tackling the urgent affordability crisis.
For Sen. Warnock, restoring the American dream is about more than economics; it is a spiritual undertaking that will help unite a divided country. Please join the Center for American Progress for a conversation with Sen. Warnock moderated by CAP President and CEO Neera Tanden. It is featured as part of CAP’s series, “What’s Next: Conversations on the Path Forward,” which brings leaders to CAP to offer ideas on how to respond to this moment.
