John,
We’re saying it: wealth distribution in our country is, and has always been, highly unequal.
We want to see a world where Black and Brown families are just as wealthy and thriving as their White counterparts.
That’s why we’re betting big on Baby Bonds, and we need you with us.
On June 13, Prosperity Now is hosting a day of action to call on Congress and lawmakers across the country to invest in Baby Bonds today, for every kid’s future to flourish.
Highly unequal wealth distribution in the U.S. and the racial wealth divide have largely been driven by systemic barriers and the economic exclusion of communities of color. To start leveling the playing field, all babies need to begin life with investments that can help them build financial security and wealth as adults. That’s what’s being proposed by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA-7) in the American Opportunity Accounts Act, which would create a national Baby Bonds program investing government funds in our next generation.
On June 13, every single voice matters to ensure all kids and families have the resources to become financially stable and begin building wealth.
2 Steps to Take Action #ForEveryKidsFuture,
Today and on June 13

Don’t forget to tag @ProsperityNow! More guidance in our toolkit here, including sample social you can copy and paste!
One last thing – if you find yourself in the Washington, DC area on June 13, please RSVP to our Capitol Hill event that will feature Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) as a keynote speaker.
We’re excited to have you with us, advocating for Baby Bonds and for every kid’s future.
