Each day, around £12.6 trillion pounds worth of trading goes through the global financial and commodity markets. Just a 1% tax on this trading would raise £12.6 billion each day. This is enough to end poverty, hunger and destitution overnight. It is enough to build a loss and damage fund, finance a just transition and wipe out global south debts in a week.
For a more detailed account of the financial markets, what a financial transaction tax (FTT) could look like, and recent history of the FTT, see labourhub.org.uk/2023/05/25/how-do-you-tax-the-rich-and-powerful
A UK community of concerned climate-conscious citizens who Rebel for Life!
We are rebels with a cause - advocating for truth, justice, and the protection of all life, using non-violent direct action (NVDA) to highlight the need to upgrade democracy and create a future decided by us, not for us.
