Class Action: A World Without Classism
" A national nonprofit founded in 2004, Class Action inspires action to end classism. Class Action provides a dynamic framework and analysis, as well as safe space, for people of all backgrounds to identify and address issues of [|class] and __[|classism]__. We do this through powerful interactive trainings, workshops, presentations, organizational consulting, and public education. People are often very anxious before they talk about class, and so relieved after they talk about it! We focus our energies on Education, Social Change, Philanthropy, and Race and Class Intersections."
