@AyannaPressley: "A federal job guarantee is an important investment in the American people, our communities, & an equitable economy that works for all. It affirms the right to meaningful, dignified work & a living wage."
@AyannaPressley: "I’m proud to build upon & honor the legacy & work of generations of Black women Civil Rights leaders by introducing this historic resolution.”

A federal #JobGuarantee would provide every person with an enforceable legal right to a quality job. Extending beyond a project based approach, the Resolution calls for the creation of federal jobs that meet long-neglected community, physical and human infrastructure needs.
Funded by the federal government and implemented locally in partnership with communities, the federal #JobGuarantee program would provide public jobs for all adults seeking employment.
By ensuring everyone has access to a good job w dignified wages, safe working conditions, health care & other benefits—including full worker rights & union protections—a #JobGuarantee would address the current jobs crisis while laying the foundation for an equitable recovery.
"Good, family-supporting jobs are the cornerstone of thriving communities...A #JobGuarantee & more access to good union jobs will help...us to join together to build a balanced, inclusive economy that works for all of us," said @MaryKayHenry, International President, @SEIU
"[E]very person deserves...a meaningful job, healthcare & a living wage...This Resolution is not only a step towards a brighter future for young ppl, working ppl &...ppl of color, but is a vital leap towards...a Green New Deal.”

- @VarshPrakash, Executive Director, @sunrisemvmt
“Our siblings in the Black Freedom Movement had the foresight to champion a Federal #JobGuarantee...This moment calls for nothing but bold, transformative policies. A #JobGuarantee is...our only path to full employment.”

- Michael Mcafee, President, @policylink
In July, @RepPressley and UCLA historian @DavidpStein co-authored an op-ed...in which they called on the Federal Reserve to take specific steps to address Black unemployment, including by not standing in the way of a federal #JobGuarantee.

1 year ago in a @FSCDems hearing, @RepPressley questioned @federalreserve Chair Jerome Powell on the...history of the [Fed]’s dual mandate. Powell conceded, for the first time in...history & on the Congressional record, that the Fed alone cannot get the US to full employment.
