The erosion of equal employment opportunity, economic security programs, higher education, and the federal workforce have weakened important pathways to economic progress and stability for Black workers and their families. Black communities are facing new headwinds from policies that threaten to reverse hard-won gains at a time when they need more investment not less.
Building an economy that works for Black communities requires a forward-looking path to boost homeownership, lower costs of living, increase wages and wealth, adapt to new technologies and changing workplaces, and support caregiving and family supporting policies.
How can we respond to these challenges, and preserve the building blocks to support economic stability in Black communities and the Black middle class? How can we safeguard and grow Black economic power in a time of rapid technological and societal change?
Join the National Partnership for Women & Families, Center for American Progress, and the Aspen Institute for a moderated panel to discuss these pressing questions and explore a shared vision for the future.
