📢Join us today! 🔼Please Mind the Gap 15th April, 4 pm 🔴Join us for a discussion on the urgent need to address widening gap between the ultra rich & the bottom. - Snippets from campaign against inequality. - Findings of Wealth Tracker India 2026 Report @TaxTheTopIndia

Ambedkar Jayanti, from Delhi — the streets spoke one truth: justice demands redistribution. With comrades from @dasamindiall, the #TaxTheTop campaign stood firm—calling out a system that celebrates wealth at the top while denying dignity at the bottom. Babasaheb’s vision wasn’t charity, it was equality backed by structural change. From assertions on the ground to solidarities across cities, this is what resistance looks like. Tax the rich. Fund the many. Realise social justice. #AmbedkarJayanti #TaxTheTop #EconomicJustice #JaiBhim #StandWithWorkers #HawkersRights #RedistributeWealth

From the lanes of Dayal Nagar to the streets of Faridabad—women workers rise, march, and resist. Led by Shehri Mahila Kamgaar Union, this march is a powerful assertion of dignity, rights, and recognition for women whose labour keeps the city alive, yet remains unseen and undervalued. No more invisibilisation. No more exploitation. Their work matters. their voices matter. Because economic justice means making the rich pay their fair share—#TaxTheTop #ShehriMahilaKamgaarUnion #WomenWorkers #Faridabad #Haryana #WorkersRights #JaiBhim #AwaazDo #MazdoorEkta
