We the 99% are the people of the Global Majority.
We are rural farmers and informal workers. We are township youth and precarious migrants. We are workers, land defenders, caregivers, artists, and activists. We are housekeepers, teachers, fisherfolk, miners, market traders and nurses. We are displaced people, indebted communities, and overworked mothers. We are queer, trans, Black, Brown, Indigenous, and from every corner of the earth still reeling from centuries of theft.
We are the people of the Global South—Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Oceania and the Caribbean. We are also the gendered, racialised, and working classes of the Global North. We are feminists, socialists, ecologists, abolitionists, and ordinary people struggling to survive and live with dignity.
We come from places burdened by debt, exploitation, war, and climate collapse—but we are rich in knowledge, culture, resistance, and care. We rise from our lands, communities, and histories to reclaim power and reshape the global order.
We are not a brand. We are not a campaign. We are a movement.
