PILLAR 04 - NEW DEAL FOR THE YOUTH
Economic Justice
A comprehensive overhaul of economic supports, employment, and education that creates abundant opportunity for healing and advancement for communities harmed by centuries of systemic inequity.
FUTURE STATE OF ECONOMIC JUSTICE
The world we're building toward
A comprehensive overhaul of economic supports, employment, and education in this country that creates abundant, accessible economic opportunities for healing and advancement for Black, Brown, and other people of color who have been harmed by centuries of systemic economic inequity rooted in racialized violence.
We Pursue This Future in Solidarity
Economic policies — on public benefits, employment, and education — have caused harm, trauma, and death. This harm is systematically and disproportionately inflicted on Black, Brown, and other people of color and LGBTQ communities. We support a comprehensive overhaul that includes full-scale reparations for Black and Indigenous Americans.
We pursue the New Deal in active solidarity with:
