ONLINE: Economic Justice Town Hall
media release: Economic inequality has run amuck in this country. Since the introduction of Reaganomics, unions have been decimated, wages have stagnated, and the color wealth gap has increased, all while CEO pay is at record levels and corporations are making massive profits.
On top of the already instituted inequality, COVID-19 has shown that our social safety net programs are inadequate and need to be modernized in order to handle modern day crisis.
We will be discussing what must be done in order to fix our broken economic system and level the playing field for working class people.
This is an online meeting. To get the meeting links, please register here:
