3) build a shared understanding of the importance of a more equal economy and robust democracy. Most of our videos feature former secretary of labor robert reich as well as other public figures. In 2024, we produced over 40 explainer videos, 35 rapid response videos, and 148 short videos, totaling over 267 million views. Over the life of the organization, we have produced over 1,700 videos - plus 320+ live broadcasts - which have been viewed over 1 billion times. We have over 13.2 million subscribers that include engaged viewers from every state in the nation. Our videos are made for the general public, but they are also used in college courses, and at congressional hearings.

(continued) "explainer- and rapid-response video topics include wealth inequality, corporate concentration, inflation, the us tax system, the climate crisis, the gender pay gap, voting rights, and economic history. These videos often debunk common myths surrounding these topics. Videos are distributed through the social media channels (facebook, youtube, instagram, tiktok, bluesky and twitter) of inequality media, robert reich, and partner organizations. In 2024 we continued producing content for tiktok and instagram, reaching even more people on these platforms, including millennials and gen z-ers, who likely would not have otherwise watched our videos.
