Why #EverydayInequality?

Inequality is the biggest issue of the 21st century and it’s getting worse. There are too many people at the top and too many people left behind at the bottom. Charities and think tanks produce endless research and reports on inequality and its effects, but ordinary people’s voices and stories of inequality are often left out.

For many there is also a lack of  knowledge about what it’s like to experience inequality day to day, every day. This prevents action and change with people who have the power to use their opinions, positions or jobs to change things. 

Inequality ultimately affects us all, but we know that it’s the people who are most affected by inequality whose stories we hear the least. 

They’re also more likely to be over-looked, go un-consulted or are simply discredited , shamed and ridiculed when they do speak out about their experience. This needs to change.

#EverydayInequality aims to bring together blogs, interviews, podcasts, poetry, music, art, videos and photography that show the real, diverse stories of our unequal society.
