“What the data shows is that we cannot have a conversation about the affordability crisis without talking about extreme inequality, and in particular the extreme inequality between CEO pay and worker pay” -Oxfam's Patricia Stottlemyer on the rapid rise of CEO pay

Yes! Great to see the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social continuing to lead the charge to #TaxtheRich in order to fund public services.   New York's richest billionaires gained $42.4 billion each last year. They can afford to pay their fair share in taxes. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A pleasure to speak with @cnn.com's Tami Luhby about: 📈rapidly rising billionaire wealth ⚖️the corrosive effects of extreme wealth on politics today 😱the likelihood of the world's first trillionaire by Davos next year Check out her great coverage of Oxfam's latest report. www.cnn.com/2026/01/18/e...

NEW: @oxfaminternational.bsky.social's global inequality report🌏 Billionaire wealth⬆️3x faster in '25 than previous years This year we dive deep on the link between economic & political inequality. Billionaires are 4000x more likely to hold office than you or me www.oxfamamerica.org/press/billio...

A G20 for the billionaires? @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's latest on what's at stake as the US assumes the G20 presidency. Given Trump’s inequality agenda at home and globally, US leadership could rapidly undermine the group’s limited progress on critical issues. www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/rese...

NEW📰: Democracy requires both an informed citizenry and a free press. But how do these ideals show up in public policy? Today, we have a paper out that looks at how media has become highly concentrated, commercialized, and drained of its public interest potential.

It's been quite a year! Really looking forward to being in conversation with @abbymaxman.bsky.social next week as she reflects on @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's work in 2025. Registration info👇

On December 9th, join Oxfam President and CEO @abbymaxman.bsky.social , for a reflection on 2025 and a look forward at what’s next for 2026. Our work is made possible with your support and we’d love to see you there as we continue to work towards a more equal world. oxfam.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

As the US assumes the G20 presidency and attempts to unilaterally exclude South Africa, @oxfamamerica.bsky.social is calling on all other #G20 countries to refuse to participate until SA is invited. Our reaction here www.oxfamamerica.org/press/g20-co...

There's a real risk the Trump administration tries to internationalize harmful, inequality-fueling economic policies via its G20 presidency. But other countries can cooperate to put people first, as the South Africa-led G20 shows. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/w...

Today is day 1 of the US G20 presidency The Trump admin takeover of the G20 website is...something g20.org It's going to be an interesting year

Since President Trump took office, the ultra-wealthy and well-connected have made out like bandits, while the working class has faced relentless attacks.     @rebeccariddell.bsky.social on exploding inequality in Trump's gilded age—and the change that's needed.   www.newsweek.com/a-golden-age...

What does Trump's promised 'Golden Age' look like? 1 in 2 kids living in a poor or low-income household and the 10 richest billionaires gaining $70 billion each in a year. My latest in @newsweek.com on spiraling US inequality & how this second Gilded Age can end. www.newsweek.com/a-golden-age...

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights. And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports. People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

The wealth of the 10 richest Americans surged $698B in the past year. Trump’s tax handouts to billionaires and cuts to health care will only make inequality worse. We need an economy that works for everyone – not one that works for the 1% and hangs everyone else out to dry.

The combined wealth of the 10 richest people in America jumped $698 billion over the past year. This figure was supercharged by Donald Trump’s tax giveaways to his fellow billionaires. www.thedailybeast.com/wealth-of-am...

The US is in an inequality emergency. This is no accident. It’s the result of political choices that consistently favor the ultra-rich and powerful over workers and ordinary families. New report on how we loosen this grip, with a foreword from @elizabethwwilkins.bsky.social

NEW: @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's US inequality report🧵 10 richest Americans gained $698 billion in the past year. As tens of millions struggle to get by, Trump policies could drive US inequality to new extremes. We dive deep on how we got here, and the change needed. oxfamamerica.org/unequal

Journos: on Monday November 3 @oxfamamerica.bsky.social is releasing a new report on #inequality in the #USA. Contact me regarding interview requests or for an embargoed copy of the press release and report. Thanks!

A pleasure to speak with @fastcompany.com's Kristin Toussaint about how big shareholder payouts are fueling inequality - and what we can do about it. www.fastcompany.com/91422684/sto...

Today, @hrw.org released the 1st major report on tax, documenting how policies that favor the rich drove Sri Lanka into economic crisis & starved its public education system. UN tax treaty negotiations are historic chance to address a root cause. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Latina workers lose about $1.2 million over the course of a 40-year career due to the wage gap. This isn’t equity—it’s injustice. Latinas deserve fair pay now. #LatinaEqualPay

‼️New Oxfam Tax Report: "A European Agenda to Tax the Super-Rich". 📆9 October. The report delves into wealth concentration in the EU, examines the different tax regimes that drive this, and presents a roadmap for taxing the super-rich. Write to [email protected] for an embargoed copy.

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!

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-...
