THRIVE Act

The THRIVE Act (S. 1525) proposes a 10-year national investment plan designed to simultaneously address economic recovery, climate change, and social inequality. The bill would establish a federal board to oversee large-scale investments in renewable energy infrastructure, affordable housing, public healthcare, and the restoration of natural ecosystems.

For everyday citizens, this legislation aims to create millions of new jobs in clean energy and manufacturing while expanding access to essential services like childcare and public transit. It specifically prioritizes funding for projects in communities that have historically faced higher levels of pollution or economic disinvestment, ensuring that new labor protections and wage standards apply to the resulting work opportunities.
