Our Priorities

OEF's work is organized around three pillars — each aimed at strengthening the middle class and broadening economic opportunity.

01

Pillar 1: Lowering Everyday Costs

We advocate for solutions that tackle inflation and reduce the crushing costs of housing, healthcare, and caregiving that are stretching family budgets past the breaking point

02

Pillar 2: Championing Fair Wages

We fight for policies that ensure wages keep pace with the cost of living, support workers' rights to advocate for better conditions, and provide struggling families with the support they need to breathe easier.

03

Pillar 3: Investing in America's Future

From expanding access to affordable quality education and job training, to protecting our natural resources and supporting small business innovation, we believe in equipping the next generation with the tools to succeed in a modern economy.
