We want governments to tax the rich and for People’s Recovery Plans to Covid-19. Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit, billionaires have increased their wealth by an astonishing 68%, while many people have experienced unprecedented levels of inequality. Many people have lost their livelihoods, and many more have not had access to life-saving vaccines. Others have seen austerity budgeting which has meant that they go without basic social services.
Across the world activists on the frontlines of inequality are taking a stand and saying this greed of the wealthy elite cannot go on any longer. It’s Time to #TaxTheRich to fund a more just and equitable future for all.
