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?

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.
