The Opportunity Agenda "works to ensure that the United States lives up to its promise as the land of opportunity for every person who lives here. To offer true opportunity, we believe our nation must acknowledge and address the barriers that keep people from achieving their full potential. When we find these barriers—such as limited access to health care, over-reliance on prisons, racial or gender bias—we must work together as a society to eliminate them. Accordingly, The Opportunity Agenda, through an integrated strategy of communications, research, and advocacy, works with social justice organizations and leaders to connect with core American values and expand the constituency for opportunity in the United States."
