Economic justice requires a public benefits system that works both for anyone experiencing a financial emergency and also supports long-lasting economic security. That's why clasp advocates for federal and state policies that center racial equity, increase investment, prevent harmful cuts, and streamline access across public programs.we work to make public benefits like SNAP, WIC, rental assistance, and medicaid more equitable and effective. At the same time, we call for policies like guaranteed income and an expanded child tax credit, which had an enormous impact on poverty in recent years.we envision a future where basic needs are abundantly met; everyone has the opportunities and resources to flourish; and a system of public benefits is accessible, equitable, reparative, responsive, easy to navigate, and co-created with directly impacted people.
