- The three things that you can do to close the wealth gap

and fight for wealth justice:

vote, donate, intersectionality.

When we vote, we are electing people

who will enact fiscal policy.

Fiscal policy is the way that money gets allocated

to certain things in our local, state, and federal budgets.

We should donate to organizations like BlackFem

because they tend to be typically underfunded

and they're doing the wealth justice work

that is going to close the wealth gap

for marginalized populations.

And finally, and I think most importantly

because this is something that we can hold ourselves

accountable to every day,

we have to think about wealth inequality

from an intersectional lens across race and gender.

For every dollar a single Black man owns

a Black woman only owns 42 cents.

So when we only tend to couch the idea

behind wealth inequality in just one dimension,

race, gender, or class,

we actually are rendering Black women's inequality

that they experience from a wealth perspective invisible.

So the issues that show up in our society

and the inequalities that we're struggling against

have to be met with solutions that are aligned

with the intersectionality of our identities, our past,

and what we ultimately want to see

to be able to create change.
