Uniting Bahamians for Positive Change
Why care about government accountability? Because bad governance means wasting your tax dollars and taking away your rights!
What you don’t know is costing you and your family, possibly for generations to come.
- You have a right to be heard.
- You have a right to quality education.
- You have a right to good governance.
- You have a right to know.
- You have a right to earn a living.
You have the power to change where your government is headed. Too much power is in the hands of too few people and we must take action.
Did you know the education system is failing your children? Poor education means a poor future!
Seven out of every 10 young people in The Bahamas do not have the skills necessary to pursue a college education or management position. This education gap is not acceptable and it is time to stand up for our children and our future. Education affects everything from the economy to increased crime and even government corruption.
You and your family deserve better. Learn more about these issues and what changes we can demand.
Did you know that almost 1 in every 10 Bahamians lives on less than $13 a day?
The Bahamas is headed off an economic cliff!
The state of the economy in the Bahamas is not acceptable and the only way this will change is if the public demands action. Our country has the second highest youth unemployment rate in the Caribbean (31%) and has an overall unemployment rate of 16%. The Bahamas also ranks poorly on the ease of doing business.
