Unlocking the American Dream At a time when deep divisions headline the national discourse on equality, Reclaiming the American Dream: Proven Solutions for Creating Economic Opportunity for All uses real-world examples to illustrate how America can evolve to include everyone in its promise of opportunity. Living Cities President and CEO Ben Hecht has spent decades exploring how leaders take proactive measures to combat growing racial disparity, without relying on slow-moving policies or the whims of Washington, D.C., to make changes in their own backyards. The strategies highlighted in Reclaiming the American Dream offer a blueprint for how communities can rekindle the promise of the American Dream through improving educational opportunities, strengthening civic engagement, and providing a ladder to economic security. Each of us-whether as an elected leader, engaged neighbor, corporate CEO, philanthropist, or investor-can act right now to secure the economic future of our country and help level the playing field for struggling Americans everywhere.
Ben Hecht is the president and CEO of Living Cities, a collaborative of eighteen of the world's leading foundations and financial institutions working together to fight poverty and close the racial gaps in income and wealth in America's cities.
