2007 Annual Report Now Online

Stagnant wages, short-sighted economic policies, the rising cost of everyday necessities, predatory lending—they’re all barriers preventing 37 million Americans from living the American Dream. 

We at the Center for Economic Progress believe in the American Dream—that everyone should have the opportunity to build a stronger future and benefit from doing honest work. 

 

Together, the Center’s partners, volunteers, supporters and staff provide services, information, opportunities and a shared voice. We help move people closer to financial stability, giving them hope—perhaps for the first time—that the American Dream is within reach.

Read our 2007 Annual Report, which highlights our work to help renew the America dream.
