About Fair Share

MISSION

Fair Share stands for an America where everyone gets their fair share, does their fair share, and pays their fair share; and where everyone plays by the same rules.
 

OUR MODEL

We organize people to stand up and take action when the rules are rigged to favor the wealthy and powerful, or when big corporations cheat the system. And, we help elect leaders who will fight for opportunity for all of us to succeed — and help defeat those who stand in the way. 

Some updates on our priority campaigns:

Protecting people from surprise medical bills. Until recently one in 5 Americans who visited an emergency room or had surgery got stuck with a surprise medical bill — even if they made sure to go to a hospital in their insurance network. This might have cost them hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But since the federal No Surprises Act went into effect at the start of 2022, the new law has already prevented 1 million surprise medical bills every month.

Standing up to predatory financial practices. Right now, high-cost lenders are allowed to sell people loans with triple-digit interest rates, which can leave borrowers trapped in debt. We’re supporting legislation that would extend existing protections against this predatory practice to all Americans, including veterans.

Helping ensure our economy works for everyone. We supported the Economic Security Project, which works to further policies that make sure all Americans can thrive in our economy. Specifically, we mobilized people to make more than 2,000 calls to members of Congress in support of extending the Child Tax Credit to help lift children out of poverty.
