Economic Justice: Affording the American Dream

Plenary: Strategy Session

Synopsis

According to a recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Center 82 percent of Americans feel that an increase in the minimum wage is an important priority. Raising the minimum wage and other economic justice campaigns provide the progressive movement with one of our clearest opportunities to connect the public with our values, broaden our base, and win real victories for working people. Together we will explore how donors can support short- and long term strategies to broaden economic opportunity and increase the power of progressive movement.
