As we push forward into our next half-century, CLASP will fight systemic racism, promote health and economic security for people with low incomes, and implement a vision of America where everyone has opportunity.

Since 1969, we’ve been at the forefront of social policy change. Now we’re laying out a bold vision for the next 50 years while celebrating what we’ve achieved over five decades.

Through our advocacy, we’ve helped millions of people access paid sick days, child care assistance, health care, and education and training that leads to good jobs. And we’re going to keep working every day to protect and build on progress for people who are economically vulnerable.
