Real progress will be achieved only through innovative solutions borne of open collaboration.
To realize our vision we must:
- Build an opportunity nation where every hard-working person, regardless of background, can realize their dreams through education, decent work and fair play.
- Reawaken America’s conscience, our sense of shared and personal responsibility, to build healthy, vibrant communities.
