Part 1 - Immigrant Justice Breakout - How We Got Into This Mess and How We Can Get Out of It: A Unified Movement to End Economic Injustice
It’s no secret: the economy is a mess for everyone except the top 1%. After decades of complicated schemes run by Wall Street designed to suck the wealth out of our communities, we’ve been left to fight with each other for a tiny piece of the pie. No matter the issues we care most about, it's this common struggle that unites us and is the very reason a unified movement for justice is possible. Together, we’ll learn the details behind the ways that Wall Street has stacked the economic deck against us. We’ll explore how racism and sexism have been central to expanding wealth inequality. And we’ll discuss real solutions and bold ideas that could transform our economy into one that works for all of us.
