Take On Wall Street

Project

Take On Wall Street is a coalition of over 50 groups working together to address the predatory economic power of Wall Street and build a financial system that better addresses the needs of the American people. Finance is the management of money, and “financialization” refers to the increasing power of the finance sector over the economy- since World War II, the financial sector as a share of our overall economy has tripled. Take On Wall Street places special emphasis on how this wealth extraction has disproportionately affected low-income communities and communities of color. TOWS hosts activist trainings, works to improve voter education, and advocates for policy change. I was brought on in 2020 to help TOWS translate a key piece of their curriculum, an educational gallery walk, to a digital experience. The experience begins by posing a single question to users: “To what extent was our economy designed to be fair?"
