No Dead Ends - Take Action - Jobs for the Future (JFF)

Thus far, candidates for president and other elected offices have doubled down on hyper-partisan messaging this election season. But JFF is using our policy platform to call on candidates to shift their focus to what really matters to voters: no dead ends to economic opportunity.

We’re flipping the script by advocating that all candidates running for national, state, and local office make workforce and education policies a top campaign issue for 2024. Now is also an ideal time for voters to raise their voices and fight for policy solutions to pressing problems.

Read JFF’s responses to election news and other hot policy topics as we advocate for a learning and work ecosystem where there are no dead ends to economic opportunity.
