We unite a wide range of social movements, grassroots and community based organisations, civil society organisations, trade unions, artists and individual activists from across the world who share a vision and purpose in fighting the structural causes of inequality together.
We will achieve this by building people power from the grassroots to the global and acting together to create systemic change.
