Yeah, Trump's Reality Show Is Entertaining But the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) Stays Focused On Where People Live And Work.

IAF puts an edge on a range of battles that matter: 
  • The fight for improved conditions in public housing; 
  • The fight for more affordable housing;
  • Welcoming immigrants into US citizenship;
  • The fight for public education dollars;
  • The fight to improve public transport in Washington DC
  • Targeted voter work;
  • Expanding labor market intermediaries;
  • Leveraging the private sector to reduce gun violence;  
  • Challenging tax giveaway deals to big businesses that yield no community benefits.
Significant progress in these areas is happening because of sustained action campaigns by IAF organizations that have accrued real power and know how to use it.  

In the Age of Trump, the Industrial Areas Foundation holds a focus on substantive public business.  Freakouts and flashes-in-pans come and go. IAF is long haul.  The results speak for themselves.
