Taking Action on Classism

We're working on UK specific projects at the moment. But for now individuals can begin to take action by following some of the steps put forward by Class Action...

Class Action…What Can I Do?

Welcome to our Action Section, with Class Action's ideas for how you can take action to uproot classism and address the institutional roots of class inequality.   This is a work in progress—certain sections are currently under construction.   But we wanted to share what we have so far.   We very much welcome your suggestions for actions and campaigns.   Each month, we will feature a different action campaign.

What can I personally do about classism?

Like many oppressions, the more we learn, the more we find we have to learn.   The first step is developing more awareness.   But ultimately we need to change behaviors and the institutions and rules that hold class oppression in place.   We think of “action” falling into several overlapping areas:

1. Self-Awareness and Class Consciousness Raising 
2. Individual Action & Choices 
3. Challenging and Changing Classism in Organisations 
4. Public & Political Action to Change Classist Policies & Practices
