Prosperity Now is dedicated to advancing state policy priorities that improve financial security for low- and moderate-income families and address racial wealth inequality. We do this by directly engaging and advising policymakers on new opportunities, supporting and promoting the policy priorities of our diverse advocacy partners, and creating accessible resources as guides for general audiences and media outlets.
In this section, you will find helpful resources for advocates—such as the 2019 state priorities bill tracker below—and state policymakers alike to adopt policy solutions that could potentially put prosperity within reach for millions more low- and moderate-income families.
