America is more divided than ever. Some parts of the country and segments of society are amassing vast wealth, while others struggle following decades of disinvestment, lost jobs, and declining wages. The economic policies of the past have failed working people; it’s time for something new.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) believes that we must give everyone a real shot at economic independence and security. From making child care and health care affordable to revitalizing America’s manufacturing industries to reshaping our education system to meet the economic needs of the present and the future, we need a policy agenda that focuses on communities and families that were left behind. Rep. Khanna believes in building things in America again—and that all Americans must come together to embrace this new economic patriotism as our national purpose.
Please join the Center for American Progress for a conversation with Rep. Khanna, moderated by CAP President and CEO Neera Tanden. This event is featured as part of CAP’s series “What’s Next: Conversations on the Path Forward,” which brings leaders to CAP to offer their perspectives on how to respond to this political moment.
