Here's the Dignity Movement's mission from their Facebook page:

We believe that rankism, the exploitation or humiliation of those with less power or lower status, is an indefensible affront to human dignity. Treating people with dignity, no matter where they fall on the corporate, social, familial, or political ladder, is the key to overcoming rankism in all its manifestations.
