Building

Economic Justice & Power

OIC of America is building a direct line to economic power for America’s forgotten people out of poverty, into new careers, and toward stronger communities

The Challenge
& The Opportunity

For generations, too many Black and poor Americans have been forgotten and kept out of our economy due to systemic inequality in education and access. At the same time, our country is experiencing a critical labor shortage, leaving employers in need of millions of skilled people. This demands urgent action. We must take advantage of this pivotal moment to build the economic power of a forgotten population.
