Social Current Releases 2025-2027 Federal Public Policy Agenda

Social Current has released its 2025-27 Federal Public Policy Agenda, outlining key priorities and a bold vision for the 119th Congress. Social Current is dedicated to building a more equitable society where all people can thrive, and this public policy agenda reaffirms our commitment to harnessing the power of the social sector as a catalyst for change.

“In the face of an unpredictable political landscape, Social Current remains committed to challenging the status quo and addressing ongoing inequities,” said Social Current President and CEO Jody Levison-Johnson. “We understand that meaningful progress requires collective action, and we are determined to work with our network of organizations, their communities, and all of our partners to drive forward essential public policy changes.”

The 2025-27 Federal Public Policy Agenda is the culmination of months of research and development, incorporating the priorities of the Social Current network gathered through focus groups, surveys, and one-on-one conversations. It reflects the diverse perspectives of our network organizations, the challenges they face, and the future they aspire to create.

This agenda translates our vision and values into concrete, actionable priorities that address systemic challenges, foster resilience, and empower organizations to increase their impact. Rooted in the belief that strengthening the social sector strengthens communities, the agenda focuses on critical areas vital to the sector’s ability to deliver essential services, including:

• Workforce Stability and Sustainability
• Financial Health and Sustainability
• Insurance Affordability and Accessibility
• Health and Well-Being
