Our daily dealings are still heavily influenced by ideas that were firmly set before anyone knew the world was round. In many ways, they reflect how we understood the world when we didn’t understand the world at all. Our economic, religious, and ethical institutions ride antique notions too narrow to freight what we’ve learned about how life works on our sparkle dot of diamond dust in space…..they haven’t assimilated the last century’s breakthroughs: that all life is related by lineage…..haven’t adjusted to new realizations about how we can push the planet’s systems into dysfunction. —Carl Safina, The View from Lazy Point

Take Back the Wealth is an emerging organization of volunteers who believe that the workers of this country have been robbed, and that it's time to take back what's ours. Our strategy? Talk to other working-class people, find out what our communities are struggling with, build relationships and a base of support in working-class neighborhoods, organize people together to share their experiences and unite for working-class power that can take back the wealth that has been stolen from our labor.
