Our country needs an FDR-type of moment. And the incoming Biden-Harris administration has an opportunity to put in place the kind of sweeping change that will lift up millions of working people for generations to come.
 
As former Labor Secretary, I’ve seen firsthand how raising wages and strengthening collective bargaining rights improve the lives of working people.
 
Unfortunately, for the last four years, Donald Trump has systematically undermined working families to further rig a system that was already rigged against working people. Even without cooperation from the Senate, in the first 100 days of a Biden-Harris administration, we can act quickly to:

• reverse Trump's efforts to take away workers’ healthcare;
• restore DACA;
• bolster workplace safety inspections;
• protect all workers against wage theft and protect the earnings of tipped workers;
• reverse Trump’s efforts to make it easier for businesses to classify workers as independent contractors;
• and ensure millions of workers receive the overtime pay they deserve.

We can't just return to "normal." The status quo has failed working people―enriching millionaires, billionaires and corporate CEOs at our expense.
 
I helped found EPI over 30 years ago to change that and fight for progressive policies, including universal healthcare, fair wages and benefits, and strong labor unions.
 
Donate to EPI today to support the sweeping change we need and to provide the Biden-Harris administration with the research and data that are critical to our movement for progressive economic change.
