The Economic Security Project challenges the status quo by catalyzing ideas that build economic power for all Americans. We serve as convener, strategist, funder and campaigner. We disburse grants, identify gaps, develop communications research to inform the movements, and coordinate events and convenings to encourage investment and action from others. We aim to support the emerging leaders in the economic justice field and ensure they have the networks, know-how, and money to succeed.
