Public & Political Action to Change Classist Policies & Practices

A. Take Action Against Public Policies that Worsen Economic Inequality

  • Check out the work of United for a Fair Economy—including their accessible and engaging popular education workshops on the economy.
  • People in the top 5 percent of wealth holders have a role to play in speaking out about the public policies and corporate practices that worsen the class divide.   See information about Responsible Wealth and links from them.

B.   Partner with Other Action Organizations

C. Action of the Month

Class Action is developing this part of our web site to include a range of issues linked to class, including education, health care, housing, taxes, and wage inequality.   Most important organizing work is done at the local level, in your community.   We feature this national activity as a resource.    We welcome your ideas and suggestions!
