THE AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY ACCOUNTS ACT
Rep. Pressley and Senator Booker’s American Opportunity Accounts Act, or Baby bonds, is a race-conscious, universal bond and critical wealth building tool to help close the racial wealth gap and provide greater opportunity for all. Specifically, the legislation:

• Provides every child, as a birthright, an “American Opportunity Account” seeded with $1,000 that every year, depending on family income, would receive up to an additional $2000, while the account continues to accrue interest over time.

• Allows account holders to access funds beginning at age 18 for any eligible wealth building activities, including homeownership, paying for higher and continuing education, investing in a small business, and saving for retirement.
