🔹Reimagining the safety net
🔹Supporting workers' rights

The good news is—the country got out of the first Gilded Age, and it can get out of this one.
We've feature insights from organizers and other experts on the front lines of fighting inequality. They know what's up.
It's time for policymakers to heed their demands.

The divides we see today are no accident. Since 1989, the top 1% grabbed at least 987x more wealth per household than B20.
Policymakers have prioritized the wealthy over ordinary people. We get into Reagan on labor, Clinton's welfare reforms, Bush's tax cuts for the rich & more.

Unfortunately (unless you're a billionaire) the very rich do keep getting richer.
📈The richest 0.1%'s share of assets (12.6%) & the stock market (24%) are now higher than any time in modern history.
Such extreme wealth-->outsized power, corroding democracy.
