  • THE CHALLENGE

    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.
