Join the Rally: Tell the UK Chancellor to Tax the Super-Rich

Inequality is soaring, the climate is collapsing, and public services are at breaking point. We need huge public investment to tackle these problems – but the UK government claims that there’s not enough money – instead cutting spending on aid, action on climate, and public services.
Meanwhile, the extreme wealth of the super-rich is surging and going largely untaxed.
At the end of March, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves will announce the UK government’s spring budget. We must demand that she uses the budget to raise taxes on the obscene wealth of the super-rich and invest in people and planet – not double-down on more cuts.
Join our joint rally with Greenpeace, 350.org, Positive Money and more outside the treasury to tell the Chancellor: the money is there – don’t cut public services, tax the super-rich. See you there!
