John,
When our country bails out billionaires and banks instead of investing in families, it’s clear that the system is broken.
We’re seeking to change that one community, one household, and one baby at a time – through Baby Bonds. If you believe in creating a world where Black and Brown families are just as wealthy and thriving as their White counterparts, we need you with us this coming Tuesday.
On Tuesday, 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.
Racism entrenched in our systems have effectively excluded Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and AANHPI communities from building wealth to pass on to future generations. 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. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA-7) have introduced the American Opportunity Accounts Act, which would create a national Baby Bonds program investing government funds in our next generation for the families who need it most – and every single voice matters in raising up this important solution that could help close the racial wealth divide.
2 Steps to Take Action #ForEveryKidsFuture,
Today and on June 13
TODAY: Tell your representative to co-sponsor the American Opportunity Accounts Act.
On June 13: Share why you support Baby Bonds on your social media platform of choice. Post one (or all) of these graphics or (if you’re comfortable!) your baby photo and use #ForEveryKidsFuture to help us lift Baby Bonds as a solution to intergenerational poverty. 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) and Rep. Pressley! The event is free but you have to register in advance.
We’re excited to have you with us, advocating for Baby Bonds and for every kid’s future.
Thank you for all that you do to advocate for Baby Bonds and for every kid’s future!
