Equanomics UK is a 21st century initiative to transition from poverty to equality, from economic disadvantage to parity. Equanomics seeks a level playing field for all communities. Focusing on wage inequalities, international trade policies, the impact of credit, loans and debt, and the impact of poverty on social conditions such as education, employment, health and housing, Equanomics UK intends to mobilise all committed people to help us meet our long term goal of Human Rights for All, and forge a new movement and organisation for racial equality and economic justice.
We have to change our politics. We must assert our status in a progressive, innovative style which celebrates our omni-possibilities and, in particular, our growing contribution to the UK’s economy. The call for a community led voice and a new and insightful focus on Equanomics. Building this new compass will be a challenge.
Equanomics is not about creating a single voice; it is about enabling and empowering a diversity of voices to influence policy. With co-ordination, engagement and vision, our individual voices can come together to drive a vehicle for sustainable change.
1.1 What is Equanomics?
Equanomics projects a contemporary analysis for today's fight against structural inequality. Distinct from cohesion and diversity, Equanomics sets forth a positive framework for full racial equality in all social, economic, educational, and political categories.
1.2 Equanomics is an analysis
It will research and issue objective public policy analysis that objectively measures the structural inequalities (and progress toward equality) in the UK – e.g., in economics, health, criminal justice, education, employment, etc. It will produce research and public policy briefs, and a UK Equanomics Index. We look forward to the day when an ‘Equanomics’ analysis becomes a pre-requisite to policymaking, and when no policy or strategic direction can ever again emerge without the voices and engagement of disadvantaged communities.
1.3 Equanomics is an organisation
Equanomics-UK aspires to be the foremost third sector organisation addressing race equality in the UK from an economic perspective. It is a broad based coalition of individual activists, and myriad voluntary and community based organisations and in combining public policy research (its own, as well as from academia and think tanks) and transforming this research into social action. Currently it is a community-rooted organisation with a central national office, and envisions local Economic Action Teams in cities throughout the UK.
1.4 Equanomics is a movement
It is the "new language" for today's civil rights movement for racial equality and economic justice – i.e., the unfinished business. We need a new and different kind of politics: A variation in our approach that remains true to our principles. A new way that does not deny our roots yet is a new radar, a fresh angle, a new paradigm. A coalition strategy we believe will best advance our struggle for change, if not “equality in our lifetime.”
