As inequality climbs and stable, well-paying work grows harder to find, we need ambitious, transformative solutions to secure economic stability and dignity for all — including a Federal Job Guarantee. By ensuring that everyone who wants to work can get a living-wage job, a job guarantee would eliminate involuntary unemployment, reduce racial disparities, alleviate poverty, and raise the floor on low-wage work while strengthening communities and advancing a greener economy. Public opinion polling shows broad support for a job guarantee, and with the 2020 election approaching, this is a pivotal moment for racial and economic justice advocates to unite and make their demand heard. We invite you to join us by signing the Jobs for All manifesto. Learn why we see a Federal Job Guarantee as a foundation of an inclusive, thriving, and sustainable 21st-century economy — and how you can take part in the Job Guarantee Now! campaign.
