Before the UK general election in 2010 we launched our equality pledge.
Thanks to the hard work of our supporters and local groups the pledge was a great success and we signed up 75 Westminster MPs, across all parties, who committed themselves to tackling income inequality - and their numbers have risen post-election.
We are now also asking Welsh Assembly Members to sign this equality pledge:
Compelling new evidence presented by The Equality Trust shows that more equal societies - those with a narrower gap between rich and poor - are more cohesive, healthier, suffer fewer social problems and are more environmentally sustainable. In view of these findings I am committed to reducing income inequality as the most effective means of building a better society. I will therefore actively support the case for policies designed to narrow the gap between rich and poor; and engage with the debate on which measures should be implemented to achieve that aim.
For people living in Wales
If your Assembly Members have not yet signed up (see list below), please take this online action asking them to join the call for greater equality.
Alternatively, you can print a form here (if for example you are meeting an Assembly Member in person).
Constituents in Wales are represented by Assembly Members but also MPs who take up their seat in Westminster: for more information on the Westminster parliament and the Equality Pledge please click here.
For Assembly Members
If you are an AM visiting this site and want to sign up to the pledge, you can do so here - or you can post the form to us at 32-36 Loman St, London SE1 0EH.
We are pleased to report that the following AMs have signed
