Overview
BuildUS, a fiscally sponsored project of the Amalgamated Foundation, helps workers and communities maximize the potential of recent federal legislation so that together we can build a better economy for all Americans. Four new laws — the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act — hold the potential for economic transformation on a scale not experienced since the New Deal. They represent a shift toward everyday people as the engines of our economy, supported by the government as an agent in shaping markets that are more secure, more equitable, and decarbonized. BuildUS is expanding its communications work by helping to build a more robust and widely shared vision of how local people and communities can drive a fairer economy assisted by a responsive, inclusive, and proactive government.
