In order to tackle the racial wealth gap and achieve real economic justice, we must support and invest in BIPOC communities disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We NEED radical economic development to combat years of injustice.

About

The Patriotic Millionaires is a group of high-net worth Americans who share a profound concern about the destabilizing level of inequality in America. Our work centers on the two things that matter most in a capitalist democracy: power and money. Our goal is to ensure that the country’s political economy is structured to meet the needs of regular Americans, rather than just millionaires. We focus on three “first” principles: a highly progressive tax system, a livable minimum wage, and equal political representation for all citizens.
