Claiming our Future is organising its second national discussion for people to share their ideas on reducing income inequality. At our first event in the RDS last October we identified eight policy priorities. One of these was to 'Achieve greater income equality and reduce poverty through wage, tax and income policies that support maximum and minimum income thresholds'. This second event will debate how we could make progress on this policy goal.
Our second national discussion aims to:
1. Share information, knowledge and perspectives on income inequality and strategies to address this issue.
2. Stimulate and support ongoing work and campaigns across the country to debate this issue and to build support for policies to reduce income inequality.
3. Identify a small number of demands that could be made to lever some political engagement with the challenge of income inequality.
The event will involve discussion on the principles that could guide our approach to income equality, on the income, tax and welfare policies that could be implemented to reduce income inequality and on the local action that could be taken to make progress on this issue.
