Amid rising inequality and an uncertain future when it comes to good jobs, it is time for bold, transformative strategies to achieve economic security and dignity for all — including a Federal Job Guarantee. By ensuring that every person who wants to work can have a living-wage job, a job guarantee would eliminate involuntary unemployment, reduce racial inequities, decrease poverty, and raise the floor on low-wage work while building stronger and greener communities. Polling shows widespread public support for a job guarantee, and with the 2020 election at hand, now is a critical moment for racial and economic justice advocates to come together and make a loud and clear demand by signing the Jobs for All manifesto.
Please join this webinar to: 1) learn why a federal job guarantee is a cornerstone of an inclusive, thriving, and sustainable 21st century economy; 2) ask job guarantee experts your questions; and 3) find out how you can participate in the Job Guarantee Now! campaign.
Speakers include:
- Dr. Darrick Hamilton, Executive Director, Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity and Professor, John Glenn College of Public Affairs, The Ohio State University
- Dr. Philip Harvey, Professor of Law, Rutgers School of Law-Camden
- Dr. Pavlina Tcherneva, Associate Professor of Economics at Bard College and Research Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute, NY
