Learn how to build an economy that works for all (3/26)
Step 1: Remember the economy isn't like the weather
The economy doesn't just happen to us. If it doesn't work for us, we have the power, together, to change the rules.
On March 26th join us for a discussion of what North Carolina’s economy needs to create broadly shared prosperity and a training on how to communicate and advocate for public policies that can support strong economic foundations in North Carolina.

This gathering will bring together partners from diverse sectors to share and discuss current economic conditions, develop a policy agenda that creates opportunity, and builds our collective capacity to communicate and work on an agenda for an economy that works for all.
