Washington, D.C. — A growing number of Americans believe that the American dream is increasingly out of reach. Polls show record levels of parents worried their children will be worse off economically, while recent college graduates are entering the weakest job market since 2020.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) describes this moment as America’s spiritual crisis—defined by deepening economic insecurity, growing social disconnection, and widespread distrust in both government and each other. He argues that healing our collective spirit starts with restoring the promise of the American dream and tackling today’s affordability crisis.
Please join the Center for American Progress for a conversation with Sen. Warnock, moderated by CAP President and CEO Neera Tanden. This event is 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.
