Reversing Runaway Inequality<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Runaway inequality \u2014 the ever increasing gap between the super-rich and the rest of us \u2014 is a big, big problem. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything we value, from democracy to racial justice, is endangered now that the top one percent of Americans have as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. And it\u2019s only getting worse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It won\u2019t get better on its own. It\u2019s on all of us to do what we can to build a massive movement that connects us together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been helping unions and community groups all over the country conduct workshops based on the facts and figures assembled in Runaway Inequality: An Activist\u2019s Guide to Economic Justice<\/a>, the book, and the accompanying workbook<\/a>. We\u2019ve trained worker-trainers who have led hundreds of workshops about runaway inequality, how we got into this mess, and what we can do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(A new edition of the book is scheduled to be released in late 2026. All royalties from the book sales are being plowed back into the educational campaign.)<\/em>
