Join us for a free public forum featuring Natalie Foster, the president of the Economic Security Project, who’s book The Guarantee offers a bold vision for America’s next economy—one that ensures every person in America can thrive.

A discussion of the book: The Guarantee: Inside the Fight for America’s Next Economy by Natalie Foster asks us to imagine an America where housing, health care, a college education, dignified work, family care, an inheritance, and an income floor are not only attainable for all but guaranteed, by our government, for everyone. The Guarantee is the rare book that will shift the terms of debate, moving us from the expired and defunct assumptions of no-guardrails capitalism to a nation that works for all of its people. The Guarantee can be ordered in advance here.

Recent national battleground research conducted by GIFFORDS found that 70% of Americans in battleground districts voters are “extremely” or “very” concerned about gun violence. These findings suggest that with control of the House, Senate, and White House at stake, 2024 is a critical year for public safety. Electorally, GIFFORDS is making strategic investments to make the difference in races where the issue of gun violence is uniquely positioned to put campaigns over the top. GIFFORDS is also supporting the advocacy efforts of gun sense champions in office across the country, with a special focus on congressional districts where gun violence messaging is powerful among women and Latino voters. We hope you will join us for this engaging conversation on gun safety progress in our country, what’s at stake, and how you can get involved to support GIFFORDS and their gun violence prevention advocacy efforts.

Prior to co-founding GIFFORDS, Peter served as then-Representative Gabby Giffords' Legislative Director in 2011 when she was shot at a Tucson supermarket during a constituent event. He is a graduate of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.
