BuildUS believes in the transformative power of a building agenda. For us, that means investing public resources in projects that matter to working people and create quality jobs and other public benefits. It means ensuring working people’s voices shape public priorities and how resources are used. It means building public will for policy that gets things done and puts people first. When workers, communities, governments and businesses act together with the right support, we can create better jobs, deliver important infrastructure, improve clean energy outcomes and ensure working people benefit. The result is a strong and clean economy that works better for more people, a thriving democracy, and resilient communities. That’s why–no matter what obstacles we face–the time to build is now.
“A building agenda supports workers, communities and businesses with the tools they need to grow an economy that helps everyone get ahead.”
While the current environment brings real headwinds for working families, we can chart a new path forward that holds promise for stakeholders who start from differing viewpoints. We can improve the bottom line for families, build cleaner communities, and restore public will for a government that works for all of us.
