Our work >
Economic Justice Programme
Many people living in Birmingham struggle to make ends meet. The way our economy works means the gap between rich and poor is growing and it’s getting more and more difficult for people to move out of poverty. Where you are born, your social class, your racial identity and your gender have a big impact on your chances of financial security and wellbeing. This is economic injustice – the way the current system leads to big divisions between rich and poor and makes it difficult for people to move out of poverty.
Through our Economic Justice programme we are supporting the movement against economic injustice in Birmingham. By ‘movement’ we mean people and organisations who share the same broad aims for change (reducing economic injustice) but who may have very different approaches. We will be focusing on three types of activity: personal empowerment to enable people to influence policy and practice; campaigning and advocacy for change; and supporting organisations building alternative approaches.
