Mind the Gap! Campaign

One of my CSSJ Communication colleagues asked if I would post something about the "Mind the Gap Campaign." When I first heard of it, all I could picture were the trains in London.

Have you ever navigated the London subway system? Every time the train door opens, a pleanant voice cautions, "Mind the gap" -- meaning the gap between the train and the subway platform. I found it a bit amusing because, unlike Boston where you could lose your backpack in the gap between train and platform, in London there is virtually no gap.

Howver there is nothing amusing about the injustice addressed by the "Mind the Gap! Campaign" which states,

Many of us may know that there is a large and growing wealth gap between a tiny fringe of super-rich Americans and most of the rest of us. Our entire nation suffers as the gap between those with enormous wealth and most of the rest of the nation continues to widen.

The "Mind the Gap! Campaign invites us all to learn more about the causes and consequences of this huge wealth gap -- and give our input!
Do you want to learn more? Join the Mind the Gap! campaign to educate our entire nation about our huge and widening wealth gap, where it came from, and its impact on all of us.
