to address the compounding effects of systemic racism, economic inequality, and climate change. Anchored in the civil rights movement’s demands for economic rights and full employment, the resolution:
Establishes the right to employment;
Ensures the program creates public jobs with living wages and full benefits on projects that deliver needed physical and care infrastructure to communities; and
Calls for full federal funding.
PolicyLink and our partners are proud to have worked in partnership with Congresswoman Pressley on this important resolution to move Congress towards making this transformative policy a reality. Join us TODAY to learn more about the resolution, and how a Federal Job Guarantee is critical to building an inclusive, thriving, and sustainable economy.
