As the richest country in the world, we have left behind too many in our society. We must foster an equitable economy that rebuilds the middle class, protects workers with a living wage, fair benefits, and strong unions, and begin to amend the injustices leveraged against Black Americans and people of color in our country. Now, we also face an enormous challenge in recovering from a global pandemic and recession, and our economic response must focus on the farmers, teachers, healthcare professionals, and workers who were hit hardest— not on breaks for huge corporations.
