Were you not able to join us this year for our Economy for All 2026 event? Do you want to replay the evening of community, conversation, and bold ideas about the future of work and economy in North Carolina? Sign up to receive a link to our recording of the event! 

This year’s Economy for All event focused on the role of work and workers in building a more equitable economy in North Carolina — and on what it takes to create and sustain “good jobs” across our state.  

We are honored that Darrick Hamilton, considered one of the nation’s foremost scholars, economists and public intellectuals, shared his vision for the economy that centers well-being over profits.  

We also hosted a panel discussion on "Building an Economy for All: Insights & Ideas for Action from North Carolina Leaders", featuring:

• Braxton Winston II, President of North Carolina State AFL-CIO
• Stephanie Smith, North Carolina Organizing Manager with the National Domestic Workers Alliance
• Alexandra Sirota, Executive Director of NC Budget & Tax Center
