In corporate board rooms and on Wall Street, the economy is booming again. But here in South Carolina, working class, middle class and poor families are falling behind. Good jobs are harder than ever to come by. Retirement security seems to be crumbling before our eyes. Our schools are underfunded and stretched to the limit. Foreclosure continues to plague our communities.
We know that South Carolina’s families deserve better.
The Ties That Bind coalition has proved that we can succeed when we stand up together. That’s why we’re holding our “Common Good” conference on Saturday, November 19th in Columbia.

You’ll be glad you did.
Our coalition brought together grassroots activists from around the state, to launch our petition for a Moral Budget; it has over 7000 signatures so far. We also helped bring 2500 people to a major Capitol rally to oppose some of the worst budget cuts in health and education. And we worked to successfully overturn some of Governor Haley’s cruelest cuts to education.
We can change the momentum of our state. But we’ll need to build a bigger movement for justice.
That’s why Ties that Bind is sponsoring a “Common Ground” conference. The goal is to discuss and reject the demagoguery that attempts to divide our communities, and unite under a common banner of fairness and opportunity.
We hope to use the conference to build on our momentum and together build a framework for an economy that truly works for all working families in South Carolina and a brighter future for all.
