For years, Prosperity Now has been a champion and staunch advocate for Baby Bonds legislation as a solution to the ever-growing racial wealth divide. We believe that by investing in children, particularly children of color, at birth, this country can level the playing field and help them begin adulthood with the resources needed to build long-term economic security.

Just how big of an impact could Baby Bonds have on families? Check out our new explainer video to see for yourself:

Our advocacy efforts, along with those of others across the country, have led to the re-introduction of the American Opportunity Accounts Act. This bill, led by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA-7), is the main legislative proposal for making Baby Bonds a reality for American children.

What can you do to help make Baby Bonds a reality?

Please share our video on social media using the hashtags #BabyBonds and #BetterfortheBabies to help drum up support for the American Opportunity Accounts Act.
