why it matters

Dr. King’s Poor People’s Campaign sought to build economic opportunity for all Americans—Black, white, rural, urban, working-class, and underrepresented communities. Today, we stand at another defining moment in economic history, where financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, and AI-driven opportunity can be the levers that unlock a more inclusive economy.

Do you believe that economic opportunity should be available to ALL people? Join us by making a commitment to drive the inclusive economics movement.
