In the shadow of a UK general election, this public event takes stock of the politics of wealth inequality and reflects on how to build political awareness and expand campaigning action. Mindful that divisive ‘culture war’ agendas are being used to fragment and distract campaigning which centres fundamental socio-economic inequality, panelists will consider how to shift political debate to more progressive directions. The recent abolition of the non-dom status, informed by III research and campaigning, shows that change is possible. Speakers at the event include:
- Mike Savage, Martin White Professor of Sociology, LSE
- Faiza Shaheen, Labour candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green
- Shabna Begum, Interim CEO of the Runnymede Trust
- Liz Nelson, AFSEE Senior Fellow and Director, Advocacy & Research, Tax Justice Network.
