Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
