Fourteen states, including D.C., have paid leave laws, supporting millions of workers. CLASP and FV@W hosted a 2024 convening of 100+ stakeholders to share key insights.
App-based workers deserve fair pay and predictable schedules. CLASP's newest publication provides a framework for policymakers to use when determining how to best improve working conditions and boost our economy.
This new paper traces the CPG’s journey from inception to impact, examines the inevitable challenges and hard lessons that come with building something new, and calls for a future where people experiencing poverty are at the center of the policy decisions that affect them.

However, families, especially those of color with low incomes, face significant challenges in accessing these services due to systemic racial and economic barriers.
Access to good jobs is essential for economic opportunity and racial equity in the U.S., providing fair wages, benefits, and protections for workers. The Biden-Harris Administration has made significant strides, including nearly $167 billion in student loan forgiveness.
