DESCRIPTION:Wealth & Income Inequality: A Two-Part Workshop by Strike Debt Bay 
 Area\n\n\nEverywhere we look, everything from the headlines to our 
 paychecks to the tents under the freeway remind us that rich people are 
 getting richer and poor people are getting poorer. But it can be hard to 
 understand exactly how and why that is happening. If we can’t 
 understand it, we can’t change it. And change it we must!\n\nAfter a 
 look at the causes of runaway inequality in Part 1, we’ll talk about some 
 fairer ways to provide economic security for all in Part 2. What do 
 alternatives to corporate capitalism look like?\n\nPart 1: How Corporations 
 Move Money from the Many to the Few\nSunday, April 29, 11:00am to 
 12:45pm\nDo you wonder what role racism plays in wealth inequality? Do you 
 wish you understood exactly how Wall Street exploits Main Street? The 
 answers are not terribly complicated, but they are shocking. We’ll learn 
 about stock manipulation, financialization, strip-mining, redlining and 
 more.\nPart 2: How We Can Build a More Just Economy for All\nSunday, May 6, 
 11:00am to 12:45pm\nUsing our shared understanding of the problem, we will 
 examine past and existing movements for change: what they are, how they 
 work, and how they can grow. We’ll talk about better ways to make sure 
 all have access to the basic necessities. Then we’ll discuss how we can 
 keep the wealth we create in our communities instead of paying it into the 
 bank accounts of global elites. In sum, what might a fair, sustainable, and 
 joyful economic system look like?\n\nWe’d love you to RSVP 
 to strike.debt.bay.area@gmail.com so we know how many people to 
 expect.\nThis workshop is free.\nWe’d love you to come to both parts if 
 you can.\n \n\n\n\n \n
