Q***r movements are leading the way to a future where everyone, no matter their gender or identity, can truly be free and equal. Everyone should be able to make decisions about their bodies. Grassroots action like this is vital to thriving societies where everyone has a voice. 💪💪💪

Against a backdrop of rising fascism and rights rollbacks, we MUST stand in solidarity with movements defending the rights of le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, q***r, intersex, asexual people and those with other diverse identities and orientations. 🏳️‍🌈

New EQUALS’s episode is out! Muskism: How Big Tech Is Reshaping Power, Politics, and Democracy

Is Elon Musk an outlier or a signal of a deeper transformation in capitalism, technology, and power?

This week, we explore “Muskism,” a system where governments, communication, infrastructure, and even public debate increasingly depend on private tech companies.

With guests Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff, we unpack:
👉 Big Tech and political power
👉 AI and inequality
👉 The growing dependence on private digital infrastructure
👉 Social media monopolies
👉 Why regulating tech giants is so difficult
👉 Whether democratic alternatives are still possible

Later, Hana Ivanhoe joins the conversation to discuss who loses most in this system and what reclaiming power could look like.

Ahead of the founding committee meeting of the International Panel on Inequality (IPI) in Johannesburg later this week—bringing together global inequality experts and featuring engagement with President Ramaphosa—EQUALS speak with committee member Dr. Wanga Zembe-Mkabile.

Inequality is often treated as background noise in global policy discussions — a persistent issue, but not an urgent one. In reality, it is an emergency shaping who lives, who thrives, and who is left behind.

Wanga explores inequality as lived experience — not just income gaps, but a system that determines health outcomes and limits the idea of meritocracy itself.

We also explore the case for an IPI: what it would take to elevate inequality to the level of global climate governance, and whether global institutions are ready for that shift.

Listen now:

Dr. Wanga Zembe-Mkabile on the human face of inequality, and how an International Panel on Inequality could inform and reshape global policy to end the inequality emergency.
