Washington, D.C. — The passage of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Inflation Reduction Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS), as well as the Justice 40 Initiative, mark tremendous and transformative investments in jobs, health, infrastructure, manufacturing, and clean energy. These investments provide a unique once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rethink how the government and industry can work for racial equity, justice, and an inclusive economy. The Center for American Progress and the National Partnership of Women and Families will host a moderated panel on Martha’s Vineyard that explores new ways to promote economic opportunity in Black communities.
