Dear NCRC members and allies,
It's long past time for a Just Economy. Our economic and social fractures were devastating before COVID, and the pandemic was a painful reminder that inequality isn’t simply about how much stuff you have. It’s about life and death.
The anniversaries last week of the police murder of George Floyd, and this week of the Tulsa Race Masacre, were yet more reminders: America needs to recover – not only from COVID, but from an economic system and a culture that has from its beginning valued some lives over others.
Now there's a choice. We can "get back to normal" or we can move forward and do better.
I choose better.
America should not only promise but deliver to all Americans opportunities to build wealth and live well.
The Just Economy Pledge is a starting point: a set of 11 core principles to help us get there. I hope you'll sign it, then tell everyone you know that they should too.

Why sign? Because even though business, finance, government policies and everyday life are complicated, we can be clear about our goals. We can be clear about what we expect from government and business leaders.
You're on our mailing list already, so we know you're interested in NCRC's research, investigations, publications, tools and programs to end discrimination in lending, housing and business.
The pledge is a first step to unite and activate many more people, and then to persuade government and corporate leaders, boards and investors to commit to the pledge, and fulfill it, and then hold them accountable through their actions.
So please join me and sign the pledge. Then share it. Everywhere. Urge your family, friends, policy and business leaders to commit to a Just Economy with you. Talk about it at work and at home. As more people sign and commit, we'll be able to reach and mobilize more people to speak out on critical issues, and to hold our leaders and institutions accountable.
With gratitude,
Andrew Nachison
Chief Communications Officer, NCRC
