At RG, we envision a world in which safety is in relationships and community, not private wealth. Building a world where land, wealth and power are shared requires solidarity with poor and working-class communities. Getting real about our class backgrounds is a critical part of supporting the poor and working-class led economic and racial justice movement.
Class is a system of power based on perceived social and economic status. While closely connected, class and money are not the same thing. The class we are raised in strongly shapes our values, beliefs, and expectations. Our experiences with class can be influenced by a multitude of factors, including our race, gender/gender expression, education, citizenship, caregiving responsibilities and changes in employment to name a few.
The quiz below is designed to help you reflect on your experiences with class. Our experiences with class can change over the course of our lives. Taking an honest assessment of our experiences can help us show up with authenticity, awareness and specificity around how we can use our class experiences to build collective power.
