Sound the Alarm

A few things you can do to make 2006 the year America wakes up to a quarter-century of growing economic inequality.


Mobilize Your Neighbors
Knock on doors, set up a table, host a community meetup. We can supply a variety of print materials and our "Inequality Matters" PowerPoint presentation.

Hold a Town Hall Meeting
Dramatize the impact of rising inequality on your country and your community. We can help with promotional support, speakers (if you wish), and materials, including our "Inequality Matters"PowerPoint and free or discounted copies of the book

Stop the Inequality Express
Tell your your senators to preserve the estate tax. Tell Congress to roll back the billions in tax cuts for the wealthy that are set to go into effect in 2006 while people are living in tents and trailers in New Orleans. (Find the names of your local representatives at Project Vote Smart.
)

Host a workshop for your church group
The increas presence of the poor among us is a call to action. United for a Fair Economy's workshop uses Christian principles to talk about why the need to address the growing divide.

Talk to your union, Rotary Club, Women's League, or other voluntary association
Help organize an educational workshop for the group of your choice. United for a Fair Economy has developed a series of active-involvement workshops that raise people’s consciousness about what the economy is doing to them, and what they can do to change the economy.

Network with parents
If you’re a parent, tell others that tax cuts hurt kids. Download posters and information at www.taxcutshurtkids.org.
