We are a democratic social justice organisation working as part of a global movement to challenge the powerful and create a more just and equal world. We mobilise people in the UK for change, and act in solidarity with those fighting injustice, particularly in the global south.

Inequality of wealth and power is growing

Fewer than 62 people own more wealth than half the world’s population. We live in a deeply unjust world where many millions of people cannot access the resources they need because a small elite use them to generate incredible wealth and power for themselves. This takeover of resources by big business, including everything from food to healthcare, energy to water, has been facilitated by political elites. Our democracy is subverted, fuelling poverty, inequality and injustice.

Poverty and injustice remain most acute in the global south, but there are also deepening levels of poverty in ‘rich’ countries and a ‘1%’ in the global south too.
