John,
Billionaires are amassing unimaginable wealth, while millions struggle
just to get by. Last year alone, they raked in $5.7 billion every single
day—while wages stagnated and public services crumbled.
But this year, we are rewriting the rules.
At the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa, world leaders could finally
tax the ultra-rich—the 3,000 billionaires who control a staggering share
of global wealth. A 2% tax on this tiny group could generate $250 billion
a year—enough to fund clean energy, disaster relief, and anti-poverty
programs worldwide.
But billionaires like Trump, Musk, and their oligarch allies won’t let
that happen without a fight. They’ve built their empires on tax breaks,
loopholes, and rigging the system in their favor. And they will do
whatever it takes to protect their wealth and power.
That’s why we’re launching a massive public campaign ahead of the
summit—getting this tax front and center in global media, rallying key
leaders to back it, and proving that the public overwhelmingly supports
it. But we need your help to make it happen. Can you chip in today?

Here’s the reality: without intervention, extreme wealth concentration
will only get worse. The richest 1% have captured nearly two-thirds of all
new wealth created in the last decade. And if nothing changes, the world’s
first trillionaire could emerge within years—holding more power than
entire nations.
A billionaire tax could stop this dangerous concentration of
wealth—redirecting extreme resources to where it’s actually needed. And
the good news? We’ve never been closer.
Last year, Brazil proposed a global billionaire tax, winning backing from
France’s finance minister and key nations across Africa and Latin America.
Now, with the G20 summit in South Africa, the country’s finance minister
is on board—bringing us closer than ever to real action on wealth
inequality.
This is our moment. The G20 sets the global economic agenda—if we push
now, we can get leaders to commit before billionaires shut it down behind
closed doors.
Our movement can make a global tax impossible to ignore and launch smart
tactics to get G20 leaders to act. But we can’t launch until we raise
enough – can you chip in to fuel this work to make billionaires pay their
fare share, and rein in corporations?

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for
people and the planet.
For years, we’ve taken on corporate giants—and won. We’ve forced insurers
to drop fossil fuel projects, held big banks accountable, and made global
corporations change their ways. Now, we’re going after the billionaires
who profit from this broken system.
Thanks for all that you do,
Deborah and the Ekō team
