The THRIVE Agenda: A Climate-Ambitious, Pro-Worker, and Pro-Racial Justice Economic Recovery!
By People's Action
It’s been 15 years since Hurricane Katrina ravaged Black and Indigenous communities, immigrant communities, and working class people. People came together to organize, but the federal government abdicated its responsibility to protect lives.
Now, in the Gulf South and across the country, we continue to face overlapping and intensifying crises: the COVID 19 pandemic, rising economic inequality, and worsening climate change. We need a bold and historic national mobilization to build a society and economy that fosters justice, not crisis.
The THRIVE Agenda is the climate ambitious, pro-racial justice and pro-worker policy vehicle to pass a monumental economic stimulus package. It rebuilds the public sector and reinvents the government’s ability to get the job done. Join us to remember Katrina, celebrate the Gulf South, and learn about the THRIVE Agenda.
Necesitamos una movilización nacional audaz e histórica para construir una sociedad y una economía que fomente la justicia, no la crisis. La Agenda THRIVE es el vehículo de política climática ambicioso, pro-racial y pro-trabajador para aprobar un paquete monumental de estímulo económico. Reconstruye el sector público y reinventa la capacidad del gobierno para hacer el trabajo. Acompáñenos para recordar a Katrina, celebrar el Golfo Sur y aprender sobre la Agenda THRIVE.
