In his recent State of the State speech, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) demonstrated that it is not enough to just oppose President Donald Trump; the left must also stand up, fight back, and put forward solutions that are better than Trump’s radical plans. From raising the minimum wage to eliminating medical debt, Gov. Pritzker’s vision for the future of Illinois demonstrates that new ideas can help reclaim the public’s faith—in effective governance and in the American experiment.
Please join the Center for American Progress for remarks by and a conversation with Gov. JB Pritzker on how the Trump administration is harming working people and the path forward. The conversation will be moderated by CAP President and CEO Neera Tanden, and marks the first in CAP’s new event series “What’s Next: Conversations on the Path Forward”, which will bring leaders to CAP to offer ideas on how to respond to this moment. Their unifying message: We must present an affirmative policy agenda that solves problems all Americans face.
