Petition the World Economic Forum to take action on inequality

From the Daily Kos:

Sign our petition urging the world’s top business C.E.O.’s and political leaders at the World Economic Forum to take concrete steps on inequality.

Only 85 people control as much wealth as the bottom 3.5 billion people in the world.

That is unacceptable, and right now the world’s top business executives and political leaders are meeting in Switzerland at the World Economic Forum. We can do something about it.

Sign our petition to the attendees of the World Economic Forum, demanding that they take seven concrete steps recommended by Oxfam International on how to tackle inequality.

Will they care? In November 2013, the World Economic Forum ranked widening income disparities as the second greatest worldwide risk in the coming 12 to 18 months. So here is an opportunity for these business C.E.O.’s and political leaders to do something about it.

Sign our petition to the World Economic Forum, telling them that actions speak louder than words. It is time to endorse Oxfam’s concrete steps towards fighting inequality.

Keep fighting,
Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos
