Economic Policy Institute

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank dedicated to promoting a just and equitable economy for all workers. For over 30 years, EPI has focused on raising awareness of economic disparities affecting low- and middle-income families in the United States. Their comprehensive research spans critical topics including wages, unemployment, health care, education, and the racial wage gap, providing a robust foundation for policy advocacy aimed at enhancing workers' rights and living conditions.

EPI engages in effective outreach to influence economic policies at various governmental levels, ensuring that the voices of marginalized communities are heard. They center their work on promoting unionization, advocating for fair wages, and striving for racial and gender justice. Through reports, policy analysis, and public campaigns, EPI addresses systemic issues like inequality, labor rights, and economic insecurity. Their mission is to create a sustainable economy where every job pays fairly, and all workers have access to essential benefits, including health care and retirement security.
