Experiments such as the expanded, fully refundable Child Tax Credit in 2021 have shown how a guaranteed income reduces poverty–including the lowest child poverty rates for Black, Latino, and Native children ever recorded.
Now, Community Change Action and our partners are building the political will and popular support to enact a permanent guaranteed income.
We lead a two-prong strategy of outside pressure and inside influence with grassroots partners. We strategize together, learn from promising practices in state and local victories, and push bold proposals for a guaranteed income at all levels of government.
We anchor the national conversation in lived experience. We use unique research methods to generate ideas from the ground up, and we center our partners in the federal policy discussion.
In partnership with groups like the Economic Security Project, which our Co-President Dorian Warren co-founded, we are changing the common sense of what we can accomplish through bold public policy.
