Americans For A Fair Deal is a movement to fundamentally shift the national conversation occurring in working class communities and focus on the issues that matter to us and our families. Working people in this country have been left behind and ignored by the political establishment and we must create a government that works for all of us. Our solution is to bring organizations, elected officials, and community people together to create a fair system for all Americans.
We aim to expand support for practical, common sense policies and down-to-earth candidates that help working class families. We believe that the only path forward in creating an economy and a government that works for all of us is to build a grassroots, community-led movement that includes everyone. Our fight for fairness starts in our local communities by bringing people together to talk about what our families need to prosper in a 21st century economy.
To start our movement, we are accomplishing the following:
-
Gathering fellow community leaders to talk about the issues that matter
-
Talking to working class people in their communities
-
Building strategic partnerships with key organizations
-
Learning more through innovative and new research
-
Strategizing with media experts about changing the narrative to feature the real issues and stories of working people
