John,
Jeff Bezos just spent $50 million on a wedding, turning Venice into his private playground.
The world faces soaring inequality and climate disasters made worse by billionaires like Bezos, who profit while paying next to nothing in taxes.
But here’s the solution: A 2% wealth tax on the world’s billionaires could raise $250 billion every year—enough to fund affordable housing, climate action, and social safety nets for millions of people.
This year's G20 summit is being hosted by South Africa, and its finance minister has supported the billionaire tax proposal. But we need massive public pressure to make taxing the rich a top priority, and get other countries to follow suit.
Tell the G20: tax the rich
Bezos’ multi-million dollar wedding was pure excess, from renting out UNESCO sites to having the ultra-rich fly in on private jets. It’s a stark reminder of why we need a billionaire tax now more than ever.
A global billionaire tax could fund the urgent climate solutions we need, protect communities on the frontlines, and create a greener, fairer world for us all. But until there is massive public demand, lawmakers will continue to serve the oligarchy instead of the people they represent.
With the G20 summit right around the corner, this is our chance to make it happen. Let's show world leaders that people everywhere are calling for billionaires to pay their fair share. Can you sign and share this petition today?
Tell the G20: tax the rich
The Ekō community has proven its power before, forcing insurers to drop fossil fuel projects, holding banks accountable for climate destruction, and taking on the biggest polluters. And now, we can do it again with billionaires - are you in?
