Economic Security Project Action

A campaigns - our organization works to win cash tax credits at the federal and state level to deliver more money to people. This past year, we helped secure new or expanded child tax credits in states, putting money back in people's pockets. We also launched an affiliate in California, Economic Security California Action (escaa) to reshape California's Economic landscape by championing cash policies and challenging corporate consolidation. Escaa led the leading public campaign around ai legislation, co-sponsoring sb 1047, which would create a public option for computing power and put common sense safety guardrails in place.

Build the field (btf) cash - we developed the blueprint for a guaranteed income, the ten-year vision to winning a guaranteed income, to the members of the guaranteed income community of practice. This led to the establishment of a cash coalition and strategic policy goals for achieving a guaranteed income. Building on our research around cash, we developed a strategy to educate and engage persuadable audiences around cash ideas.

Build the field (btf) shaping markets - we advance fair and healthy markets by championing competition and public options to build Economic power back for families.

This was a year of big wins and big momentum, with huge wins on cash policies, expansion of the national movement for a guaranteed income, and antimonopoly Action to shape markets to work for families. Over the course of this year, our events, workshops, and communities of practice have convened over 1,000 people, engaging frontline advocates, top officials in the white house, and long-time collaborators. We also expanded our footprint in both California and Illinois, investing in them as the vanguard states in advancing bold Economic policies.
