Oxfam mourns our partner colleague Tasneem (27), killed with her 2 young children in an Israeli airstrike in #Gaza. Partner clinics providing life-saving care have also been destroyed. Aid workers must never be targets. 👉🏾Full statement: oxf.am/gaza-partner... #NotATarget

New poverty data just out affirms a shameful fact: The US is one of the most unequal rich countries in the world. Home to more billionaires than any other country, and 43.7 million ppl in poverty. Trump's agenda is set to make things worse. Our take👇 www.oxfamamerica.org/press/new-us...

Looking for the best states to work in? These are the top 5 states for workers! Oxfam’s research has found these states all have the country’s strongest minimum wages, paid leave, fair schedules, and protected rights to organize. Did your state make the top 5?

Countries have started negotiating a new tax treaty The US? Not in the room Trump's unilateralism hurts ordinary people in the US and (no surprise) helps profitable corps & wealthy individuals who pay too little in tax My take from negotiations👇 politicsofpoverty.oxfamamerica.org/the-most-hop...

'This is the price of oligarchy: a society that is sicker, hungrier, and poorer.' @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's @abbymaxman.bsky.social on the billionaire tax handouts Trump will sign into law today. A 'historic act of cruelty' with 'deadly' consequences. www.oxfamamerica.org/press/press-...

Foram dias intensos na 4ª Conferência de Financiamento para o Desenvolvimento que revelou tanto o poder quanto os limites da cooperação internacional. É essencial manter e ampliar essas coalizões, porque sem reformas estruturais e redistribuição, a promessa dos ODS continuará fora do alcance.

Me voy de Sevilla muy emocionado por trabajar con un equipo comprometido, brillante y políticamente potente en Oxfam. En tiempos en que el movimiento reaccionario promueve más injusticia y desigualdades, es momento de poner la justicia económica en el centro. #Ffd4

REACTION: The #FFD4 showed the challenges remaining to meet the Sustainable Development Goals - but also the power of international cooperation. 👉 oxf.am/ffd-reaction

So grateful to connect with global movements demanding justice at #FFD4. A real source of hope. As we fight US efforts to take away families' food and healthcare to give billionaires tax breaks, and tank multilateralism to pad the profits of corporations. La lucha continua✊

NEW: In case you missed this passionate and uplifting conversation on how to #FightInequality, watch the full panel here www.youtube.com/live/iBE9eQb... #FfD4 #TaxTheSuperRich #CancelTheDebt

Today, rather than investing in workers and families, Senate Republicans passed a destructive tax bill that would leave millions hungry and without healthcare. Lawmakers need to ask themselves: how many people are you willing to harm to pad the pockets of billionaires?

Billionaires’ wealth surged $6.5tn over past decade, Oxfam reports

🚨New Oxfam analysis looks at how extreme inequality is derailing global development - and the change that's needed. 🌍Check out 'From Private Profit to Public Power' oxf.am/ffd-brief-2025 🧵below👇

As Trump and Republicans in Congress push billionaire tax handouts, we had to ask: Are the billionaires doing okay??🤔 We crunched the numbers and found out—surprise, surprise—they're doing great!👇

NEW from @oxfamamerica.bsky.social: 🔹The wealth of the 10 richest US billionaires increased by $365 billion in the past year. 🔹A modest tax on their fortunes would cover 1 year of food assistance for 22.5 million ppl. 🔹It would take 10 typical workers 726,000 yrs to make that much.

Threats to US Clean Energy Funding Will Damage the Climate and Punish Households. @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's blog shows how cuts to essential programs would lead to higher energy bills, unbreathable air, unsafe homes and loss of good jobs: politicsofpoverty.oxfamamerica.org/clean-energy...

The big Republican tax bill is not so beautiful. Unless you're superrich or a big multinational company. Everything else is shortchanged: our families, jobs, and our climate. Our @factcoalition.bsky.social take: thefactcoalition.org/house-tax-pa...

Don't believe everything the President posts—Trump doesn't plan to #TaxtheRich and neither do Republicans. Oxfam's Jackson Gandour and I on why rumors shouldn't distract from a tax deal that will benefit the ultra-wealthy and hurt ordinary people. politicsofpoverty.oxfamamerica.org/rumors-and-s...

When Massachusetts residents passed a new tax on income over $1 million in 2022, critics claimed it would drive the wealthy away. Instead, IPS scholar @ocampomar.bsky.social found that the state now has MORE millionaires — and an extra $2.46 billion raised by the tax. Mike Deehan in @axios.com:

Oxfam America’s @rebeccariddell.bsky.social spoke to people across New York City to get their thoughts on tax fairness as we push for lawmakers to reject tax giveaways for the ultra-wealthy and instead create a tax system that works for everyone.

Had so much fun talking with folks on the streets of NYC about their views on tax fairness. The people know what's up. Please share!

"Reconsidering commitment to tax cuts for the rich"* ** *** **** * Except for the tax cut for the heirs of the wealthiest estates **Except for the tax cut for passthrough biz, half of which goes to millionaires *** Except for corporate tax cuts about a third of which goes to the top 1% **** Etc.

Yes, economies should be transformed to ensure everyone can enjoy their rights. But the Trump approach does not care for people's lives & rights. There are other reforms we could make instead. Our preliminary piece on human rights take on Trump's tarrifs www.hrw.org/news/2025/0...

Happy Tax Day! While the rest of us dutifully file, ultra-wealthy tax cheats steal $562 million a day. Trump-Musk's proposed cuts to the IRS would make it even worse. @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's latest on why cuts to the IRS are a gift to billionaire tax cheats www.oxfamamerica.org/press/trump-...

The House just passed this by the skin of their teeth, after they had to delay the vote by months. But let’s be clear, this is one step, NOT the end of the leg fight at ALL. Republicans have made it clear what they’re trying to do. If you’re in DC come to Senate park for a rally at noon.

"The US doesn’t need to resort to either punishing or joining tax havens such as Ireland. Instead, we should start by fixing our America-last tax code." Read @zorkamilin.bsky.social's new piece in @bloombergtax.com on the need for int'l tax reforms to tackle offshoring.

Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs are a wrecking ball harming working class families in the US and worldwide. @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's @abbymaxman.bsky.social condemns the stoking of a devastating trade war that will turbocharge inequality: www.oxfamamerica.org/press/presid...

🔥"Musk’s attacks on federal employees should be understood as part of [a] broader plan to turn the public sector into a tool for private profit." @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's Jackson Gandour on what DOGE's war on workers shows about US labor law: politicsofpoverty.oxfamamerica.org/doges-war-on...

Amazing Oxfam Sisters on the Planet and Action Network Activists advocated for tax policies that benefit women and girls this #IWD. Folks learned more about the tax fight and how we can take action to rewrite our failed tax system so that it can fight inequality—not fuel it.

Just five Texans telling Congress NO to putting billionaires and profits before ordinary people. So inspired by the incredible folks who came to DC to join @oxfamamerica.bsky.social for International Women's Day. #IWD2025

An "appalling and destructive" budget that puts "oligarchs over ordinary people." @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's reaction to the House vote. www.oxfamamerica.org/press/press-releases/house-republicans-vote-on-appalling-and-destructive-budget-plan-that-puts-oligarchs-over-ordinary-people-oxfam/

Billionaires like Musk have a clear reason to undermine the #IRS: they know that investing in tax authorities means the very richest would finally be forced to pay their fair share. This is a perverse display of #billionaire self-dealing at the expense of ordinary people.

NEW: Oxfam's @nabilahmed.bsky.social on DOGE layoffs at the IRS: "This is a perverse display of billionaire self-dealing at the expense of ordinary people, all in service of the Trump administration’s broader agenda of enriching the billionaire class." www.oxfamamerica.org/press/press-...

🚨 U.S. leaves the UN Tax Treaty negotiations, but the process continues Yesterday, after a morning of countries committing to international tax cooperation, the U.S. walked out of the #UNTaxConvention negotiations. 📰 Read GATJ's reaction here: bit.ly/4hKLJCr

NEW: The US has walked out of historic UN negotiations for a tax treaty. Shameful move by the Trump admin. The world's countries overwhelmingly support this critical process to fix broken global tax rules and end tax abuse. Negotiations will move forward without the US. 1/2

Today, all the countries of the world are starting to negotiate a new international tax system at the @un.org. Why is this urgent? Here's @icrict.bsky.social's analysis of the tax framework convention & protocols. shorturl.at/y4z0d

NEW: Tesla, the most valuable automaker in the world, did not pay any federal income tax last year. The company reported $0 in federal income tax on $2 billion of U.S. income in 2024. Elon Musk’s company avoided almost all federal income tax over the past three years. itep.org/tesla-report...

"Now we don't have to use our imagination anymore to think about oligarchs, we just need to look at the newspaper," @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's @rebeccariddell.bsky.social told @france24.com. #WEF2025 www.france24.com/en/video/202...

Want to tackle inequality? Start with fair taxes and giving the Global South a real voice at the IMF and World Bank, says Anthony Kamande, in the latest blog in our #Davos2025 series views-voices.oxfam.org.uk/2025/01/glob... #TakersNotMakers #FightInequality

Five people are expected to amass at least $1 trillion in wealth within the next decade, if current trends continue, according to @oxfaminternational.bsky.social. “This extreme inequality is nothing to celebrate,” said @rebeccariddell.bsky.social. @cnn.com edition.cnn.com/2025/01/19/b...

“This extreme inequality is nothing to celebrate.” Excellent piece in CNN about our forecast of 5 trillionaires within a decade, and what's needed to curb extreme concentrations of wealth & power. An absolute pleasure to talk to Tami Luhby about our report. www.cnn.com/2025/01/19/b...
