A growing global movement called the Fight Inequality Alliance organizes and mobilizes to combat the disproportionate concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a small elite. We are creating a world that is equitable, just, and sustainable. With the goal of becoming the most potent worldwide movement yet to take on the power of the 1 percent, we are starting an exciting new chapter in the alliance’s history.
