These are no ordinary times for the American economy. The reconciliation bill before the Senate threatens to gut basic needs programs such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); the Trump administration has repeatedly imposed, and paused, drastic tariffs on both allies and foes; and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence may displace millions of jobs.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) believes Democrats need an operational plan that meets the urgency of this moment. Elected in 2024 in a state that voted for Donald Trump, she’s putting together an economic and narrative strategy to fight back against Republicans’ attacks on American pocketbooks and democracy.
Please join the Center for American Progress Action Fund for remarks by Sen. Slotkin, followed by a conversation with Neera Tanden, CEO of CAP Action. This event runs in tandem with the ongoing series “What’s Next: Conversations on the Path Forward” at CAP Action’s sister organization, the Center for American Progress.
