CTBA works to promote social and economic justice for all, from traditionally disadvantaged populations to the middle class. CTBA believes it essential to have the commitment and ability to stay focused on resolving major inequities for the long term, and to work collaboratively with other experts, organizations, and opinion leaders to move the agenda forward.
