The Coalition on Inclusive Economic Growth wrote to congressional leaders endorsing Julie Su’s nomination to serve as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor ahead of her confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee this week.
Signatories of the letter praised Su’s leadership in empowering workers and advancing inclusive economic growth policies. “This is exactly the kind of leader our country needs now; someone with a track record of results in a position to affect large-scale change to allow businesses, private investors, and the capital markets to better contribute to the prosperity of workers and communities,” wrote the signatories.
The Coalition was specifically formed to coordinate public and private sector action to tackle the structural and long-term challenges facing our economy to generate inclusive economic growth for American workers, communities, businesses and investors.
The group, co-led by the U.S. Impact Investing Alliance and B Lab, stands ready to partner with government to manifest a coordinated, forward-looking approach to the structure and rules governing our capital markets alongside a renewed commitment to invest in strong, sustainable communities.
