About the Organization
NESRI has recently joined allies in signing the Jobs for All Manifesto, envisioning a world where everyone who wants to work has a living-wage job, eliminating the need to cobble together multiple jobs to make ends meet. This initiative aims to eradicate joblessness and its consequences, fostering a society where millions work together to heal the environment, rebuild physical and care infrastructure, and renew public art, all while guaranteeing the basic right to a job.
We face a crisis of economic insecurity. At this pivotal moment of economic and ecological upheaval—marked by pervasive economic insecurity, racial exclusion, concentrated wealth, and a sweltering planet—we need a strategy to build an economy that ensures security and dignity for all. A Federal Job Guarantee is our proposed solution, ensuring every person who wants to work can find a good job meeting vital community needs. This guarantee can serve as the cornerstone of an inclusive, thriving, and sustainable 21st-century economy.
