“Breaking the silence – talking about class and coming to terms with where we stand – is a necessary step if we are to live in a world where prosperity and plenty can be shared, where justice can be realized. The time to talk about class is now – before it is too late, before we are all trapped in place and unable to change our nation’s fate”

-bell hooks

Raised owning class, Tyrone Boucher became an economic justice activist in his teens and has spent years working with grassroots groups and organizing other radical rich kids to break the silence about class and fight for economic justice. In 2008, he co-founded the website Enough: The Personal Politics of Resisting Capitalism, which created a space to share strategies for creating more just and economically sustainable movements.

He is passionate about dismantling myths and taboos about class, connecting economic justice with other social justice struggles, and building bridges to work for justice across class lines. He has facilitated workshops for POOR Magazine, Resource Generation, Catalyst Project, Making Money Make Change, and North American Students of Cooperation (NASCO), as well as other organizations, universities, and student groups; and has been an organizer, grassroots fundraiser, and consultant for a wide range of groups building movements of self-determination for oppressed people.

Tyrone  was named one of UTNE Reader’s 50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World in 2009, and is featured in the book Do It Anyway: Portraits of the Next Generation of Activists, from Beacon Press.
