There's been plenty of attention (rightfully) paid to the increasing costs of groceries. Our researchers found that water costs have increased even more sharply.

Did you know that in the second quarter of 2026, ExxonMobil and Chevron raked in a combined $26.6B in post-tax income, while people struggled to afford basics like food and utilities? That's why we're calling for a ban on fossil fuel exports and a windfall profits tax on industry majors.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
