Despite whatever the latest headlines say about GDP and the stock market, the reality for most Americans is that the economy isn’t working for them as they struggle to afford food and necessities in the wake of years of inflation.

I’ve heard countless stories from folks trying to make ends meet and fear of the direction we’re headed in. As a part of my Affordability Plan, I’m proud to announce today my policies to fight economic inequality:

Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Increasing antitrust enforcement to end the monopolistic practices that allow companies to price gouge Americans for even basic goods.
Backing a UBI pilot to help lift the floor for Americans in the zip codes that need it most.
Strengthening Social Security so that it doesn’t run out for future generations and so that our current retirees can better thrive in their golden years.
Renewing the expired Child Tax Credit to cut childhood poverty nearly in half.
Establishing American Dream Accounts which would give every American child $1000 at the start of life invested in our market and an additional $500 a year until they’re 18 to give them a foundation for starting their adult lives.
Creating a federal Paid Family Leave and Sick Leave Policy to bring American workers the same rights that nearly every industrialized nation has.

An economic agenda that leaves all but the upper class struggling to put food on the table or afford an unexpected $500 bill is an agenda that is failing Americans. As President, I plan to ensure that we pull all the levers possible in government to lower wages and give Americans an economic foundation to build their lives.

We should invest in Americans, with policy that ensures corporate accountability, increased wages, paid leave, and more. Could you help support this with a donation of $27?
