    Are women in Africa particularly rich as to be used for comparison? Or is this just weird engagement bait?

      neither the article nor the article’s source say what the number for “total wealth held by African women” actually is, so I can’t be sure, but here’s the wealth of

      • the 22 richest men: 3.7 trillion US dollars
      • the 22 richest women: 708 billion USD

    What’s your point? What about african men? Compare to all african men and the richest. At that point also compare the richest women in africa too. Also let us know how you even obtained these numbers…

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
