Racing the New Economy: A Long-Term Structural Reform Strategy for Structural Equity
National People’s Action has developed a 40-year agenda to create a new economy in the United States. At the center of the Long-Term Agenda to the New Economy (LTA) is creating structural equity. By building a broad progressive infrastructure with the power to win five structural transformations we can win a racially just economy. This session will break down NPA’s LTA and our strategy for exposing the role of structural racism in creating the current economy. Participants will identify opportunities to advance their own racial justice work by applying this long-term structural reform framework.
