Build an Equitable Economy
Overview
In addition to exposing our extreme inequality, the pandemic has also revealed our interconnectedness: we are only as safe as the least protected among us. In a diversifying country, dismantling structural racism and ensuring economic security for all is the right thing to do and the necessary thing to do.
We need sustained and race-conscious policies and investments to stabilize people during the crisis and bridge to a more equitable future. To build an equitable economy, policymakers must:
- Ensure economic security during the crisis.
- Use stimulus funds to build the next economy.
- Forge a new social contract that enables shared prosperity.
