Our Work
Economic Justice
When people work at good-paying jobs and have the income to meet their needs, put food on the table and a roof over their heads, and build wealth over generations, we all benefit.
Budget & Tax Justice
By assigning our collective tax dollars to pay for what we need — schools, roads, parks, and people to run them all — budgets can reflect the value we have for our communities and well-being.
Connecting Communities
By working with people and communities across the state and strengthening the connections to the policy process to make it more inclusive and equitable, we can demand that policymakers legislate in the people’s interests.
