On Saturday, January 13th, Indivisible St Johns held its first of what we hope will be more workshops on Reversing Runaway Inequality, based on the book of the same name by Les Leopold. We were engaged in not just learning how we got here but we worked on solutions to change things we see happening in our county, our country and our world. You can get a glimpse of our day here:

"Runaway inequality is now America's most critical economic fact of life. In 1970, the ratio of pay between the top 100 CEOs and the average worker was 45 to 1. Today it is a shocking 829 to one! During that time a new economic philosophy set in which cut taxes, deregulated finance and trimmed social spending. Those policies set in motion a process that greatly expanded the power of financial interests to accelerate inequality. But how exactly does that happen?"
Proceeds from book sales go towards providing more training and support materials.
