About Fight Inequality Alliance

Fight Inequality Alliance is a growing global movement organising and mobilising to counter the excessive concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a small elite. We are building a just, equal and sustainable world. We are embarking on an exciting new phase in the alliance’s history, where we aim to become the most powerful global movement tackling the power of the 1% yet. To achieve this we are embarking on our 10-year road map (2023 to 2033). For the alliance, the next decade is a critical time for the system that replaces neoliberalism to be defined and fought for. Whilst we organise at a larger scale to change the inequalities pressing on the daily lives of people living on the frontlines of inequality, we will also build people powered alternatives to the current system.The values that guide and drive our work are listed here.
