John,
What would this country look like if everyone had the economic resources to reach their full potential? We don’t know because more than half of families of color struggle to make ends meet, much less plan for the future. And young adults of color are not able to begin accumulating wealth in the same way as their White counterparts.
But the solution to this gap exists and we have the power to bring it to fruition. That’s why I’m asking you to contribute to Prosperity Now because there is so much we can do together to transform our economy into one that is just, fair, and free from structural racism.
Baby Bonds is an innovative policy that would give every child a nest egg so when they reach adulthood they can pursue higher education, start a business, or even buy a home. The government would invest in all children starting at birth, with the most funds directed toward those from households with the least wealth, which are disproportionately Black, Latinx and Indigenous.
These publicly funded investment accounts would increase in value over time as the child grows, and be accessible only upon reaching adulthood, providing otherwise unavailable resources for a young adult to pursue their dreams and build their future.
In just one week, at the 2022 Prosperity Summit, among economic equity advocates, state legislators, congressional staffers, and financial coaches, Baby Bonds will be an important conversation in advancing the movement for racial and ethnic economic equity!
You, too, can be part of remaking the U.S. economy — from one mired in systemic racism — to one where every family has a pathway to prosperity and the power to build financial stability, when you invest in Prosperity Now today.
This is a big, bold goal, but now is the time. I’m personally asking you to join us and make a contribution today.
Thank you for being part of this fight.
Sincerely,
Gary Cunningham
President & CEO
