One America Works Is Bringing America Together Through Work & Investment We are a civic organization that believes we can overcome division in America by investing and working together. To this end, we are leading an effort to educate growth companies of their opportunities for expansion across the country. We also work with cities and regions to appropriately promote and market their strengths to attract the right investment. By connecting growth companies and talented people across the country, One America Works aims to bring the country together around common goals and values. We are driving the reintegration of the U.S. economy. Why One America Works Driven by the information economy and globalization, high-paying jobs are multiplying in a few large cities, while economic growth across the country is slow and wages remain stagnant. ECONOMIC DIVERGENCE IS DANGEROUS When we stop working together and exclude too many Americans from the benefits of growth and expansion, we have less common ground and opportunity to understand one another. WORKING TOGETHER CREATES MUTUAL BENEFIT Cities across America already have critical infrastructure, including housing, transportation and cultural institutions ready to support innovative companies and economic growth. RE-CONNECT AND BUILD OUR SHARED ECONOMIC FUTURE We believe its time for innovative companies and forward thinking cities to leverage each other’s strengths and succeed together.
