Fair Shot 2020

The American middle class is threatened like never before, and its foundation is threatened further still by rising economic inequality, including an ever-growing racial wealth divide. Fair Shot 2020 is a $1.5 million campaign to create a fair and stable U.S. economy—by providing families and children of color with a fair shot at creating and protecting their financial well-being. This advocacy and organizing effort will advance equitable federal and state policies that benefit all Americans.
