With the election just around the corner, we know there’s a lot on your mind.

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.
