Income inequality in our current economic system is a problem, both for fairness and for the strength of the economy.

We’ve reached record levels of income inequality in this country. Since the 1970s, we’ve seen wages stagnate for most of the population, while for those at the very top, their wealth and income has grown exponentially.

Your station in life shouldn’t be determined by the circumstances you were born to, but whether you’re ready to work hard and play by the rules.

In this video, we discuss why income inequality is the focus of 2017 Spring Lobby Weekend. We hope you’ll be able to join us!
