Engagement Activity 2/17

In my opinion, the most important thing to understand about the economy is how it is working for and against people. We need to understand economic inequality and the systems that are perpetuating it if we want to create social change and work towards reducing the wealth gap in this country. In addition to studying English, I also study social welfare, so I am interested in learning more about the ways that our political and economic systems are broken, and what some potential solutions may be for fixing them. It really saddens me that there is such a huge income gap in this country that particularly impacts marginalized communities. I want to learn more about economic inequality so that I can gain a better understanding of how we can push for equality and equity across race, class, gender, etc.
