Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, president of The Rockefeller Foundation, has called on leaders to make significant investments to restore the accessibility of the American Dream.
During his keynote speech at the Cleveland Federal Reserve’s 2025 Policy Summit on June 26, Dr. Rajiv J. Shah emphasized the importance of bold, long-term investments to revitalize the American Dream, which he argues has become out of reach and unaffordable for many families across the United States.
Shah stressed, “Everyone deserves a chance to reach their American dream,” highlighting the growing challenges faced by numerous families striving for economic stability and prosperity in the current environment.
The summit provided a platform for stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, and community leaders, to discuss potential strategies and solutions aimed at fostering economic opportunities and narrowing socio-economic disparities. Shah’s address sought to underscore the need for a collective and sustained effort to ensure that the American Dream remains attainable for future generations.
