The Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks has recently joined the OpportunityNation Coalition. OpportunityNation is building a national coalition of non-profits, business leaders, social entrepreneurs, community and faith-based organizations in an effort to build support for a non-partisan agenda for economic opportunity and mobility.
OpportunityNation wants to refresh and rebuild the American Dream for every man, woman and child. We’re going to do this by demanding that our leaders, from the places we live all the way to Washington, make a commitment to restoring the American Dream. These past few years have certainly been difficult. Some of us have lost our grip on the American Dream, while others never had a chance to reach it. Together, we’re going to make opportunity real for everyone. We are thrilled to join what promises to be an exciting and historic grassroots movement.
On top of all this, we are excited to announce some terrific news: OpportunityNation has just been named the cause partner for the Roots Jam Session! The Roots Jam Session is an annual celebration that takes place the night before the Grammy Awards. The festivities feature many A-list performers and, of course, the Grammy winning band and one of Rolling Stone Magazines’ 20 Greatest Live Acts in the World: The Roots!
Each year The Roots Jam session picks a non-profit cause partner for the event, and we are excited and honored by this chance to highlight the work we are doing together.
Even as we look forward to this exciting event, our work is just getting started. Please visit opportunitynation.org and signup to learn more about our campaign and help us develop an opportunity agenda.
We hope you join us in engaging with OpportunityNation and supporting all of our work to make the American Dream a reality.
