The global economy two years from now will likely look dramatically different from today. Generative artificial intelligence is growing exponentially, and a wave of worker movements is gaining momentum. Both may fundamentally disrupt the way the economy works—and soon. American policymakers need to take action. 

Please join the Center for American Progress Action Fund for a conversation between Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and CAP Action CEO Patrick Gaspard on what it means to build out an economy that will withstand the challenges of tomorrow. They will discuss strategies to harness this moment for unions and ensure American workers are not left behind as the world adapts to transformative technological advancements. The event will examine forward-looking initiatives such as apprenticeships, zero-interest loans, affordable child care programs, industrial decarbonization incentives, and more.
