NEW: Preventing employers who violate labor laws from receiving federal funding is a critical step to ensuring workers are protected. In a new brief, director of Roosevelt's worker power and economic security program Ali Bustamante explores how new measures and existing laws can close the gap that gives employers the power to violate these laws and undercut worker power. He argues that we need to examine the extent of labor law violations in the US and provides examples of existing federal laws that restrict funding to violators, and the need for stronger labor protections and enforcement. As it stands, the United States’ workforce development framework fails to provide the accountability that ensures workers have access to good jobs and economic mobility.

The Roosevelt Institute champions bold policy reforms that would redefine the American economy and our democracy.
About us
The Roosevelt Institute, a New York-based think tank, promotes bold policy reforms that would redefine the American economy and our democracy. With a focus on curbing corporate power and reclaiming public power, Roosevelt is helping people understand that the economy is shaped by choices—via institutions and the rules that structure markets—while also exploring the economics of race and gender and the changing 21st-century economy. Roosevelt is armed with a transformative vision for the future, working to move the country toward a new economic and political system: one built by many for the good of all. We bring together thousands of thinkers and doers—from a new generation of leaders in every state to Nobel laureate economists working to redefine the rules that guide our social and economic realities. We rethink and reshape everything from local policy to federal legislation, orienting toward a new economic and political system: one built by many for the good of all.

The Biden admin has advanced the most active industrial policy since FDR. In a new brief, director of industrial policy and trade Todd N. Tucker sat down with three of the architects behind this new industrial strategy to learn what it really means to build state capacity. He caught up with, Kate Gordon, who served as senior advisor to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm from 2021 to 2023; Satyam Khanna, who served as senior advisor for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund at the EPA from 2023 to 2024; and Aaron "Ronnie" Chatterji”, the White House “CHIPS czar,” acting deputy director at the National Economic Council, and chief economist at the Department of Commerce from 2021 to 2023. Each of these authors share their insights into industrial policy strategy to shed light on what it means to ensure the government is able to achieve the objectives the people set for it, in a manner that is democratic, equitable, and informed.

Happening next week! Join us next Wednesday for a discussion on the unfinished business of winding down fossil fuel energy. You’ll hear from Roosevelt Institute Fellow Kate Aronoff, and Roosevelt Senior Fellow and former Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, Sarah Bloom Raskin. Kate and Sarah will discuss why markets alone are insufficient to manage the fossil fuel wind-down and the ways in which the public sector must take the lead in the transition away from fossil fuels. Register now! https://lnkd.in/efXuPMjQ

NEW: There are nearly 226 million acres of low-harm area for solar available, and only 3.5 million to 15 million acres are needed to meet solar deployment targets. Prioritizing high-benefit, low-harm land in solar siting will allow us to build faster and accelerate a just energy transition. A coordinated, equitable, and efficient build-out will require planning, policy, and investment in new transmission and distribution infrastructures. It will also require cross-government efforts to develop more robust ways of identifying high-benefit, low-harm sites in local communities. In our new brief, Johanna Bozuwa, Dustin Mulvaney, Isabel Estevez, Adriana DiSilvestro, Kristina Karlsson, and Sunny Malhotra argue that effective solar deployment requires a nationwide planning and coordination effort, outline key roles the federal government can play in advancing solar, and provide clear principles and steps for land-use and site planning.

Roosevelt Institute reposted this
I do a lot of reading and learning at the Roosevelt Institute, so I was thrilled to write my first post for our blog tying together several of our most compelling recent publications. Each one is grounded in the ideas that the role of government is to provide for the public, doing so requires embracing state involvement and public spending, and industrial strategy should be in service of creating a green, just economy.
