| | Take Action | Climate crisis. Racial injustice. Global pandemic. Mass unemployment. Our response to these crises will shape our society for decades. The THRIVE Agenda is our road map to a just recovery—a soon-to-be-introduced congressional resolution with a plan to put millions of people back to work building an economy that prioritizes climate, racial justice, and economic justice. Like the Green New Deal, the THRIVE Agenda will help us build a society that fosters justice, not crisis. Ask your members of Congress to become original cosponsors of the THRIVE Agenda by joining Wednesday's mass-launch call. |
