Join the movement. Tax the super-rich
There’s enough money for a green and fair world but it’s just in the wrong pockets. It’s time to make rich polluting elites pay!

We don’t take any money from corporations or governments. Our independence and ability to speak and act freely is our strongest asset. We depend on the generosity of people like you who fund our work with monthly donations.
