“We don't believe in inequality as a way of living. We cannot live in a world where five men are richer than the rest of the population. ”
@catarina_mart MEP and co-president of the European Left Alliance.
Thank you to all who joined us yesterday. Let's tax the rich!
Tax the Rich | Milan, Italy | 5 June
The atmosphere yesterday was electric! During the evening we heard from party leaders, activists and academia to a full crowd of over 300!
The key messages of the evening were clear:
🔴 Tax the wealthy. It's common sense.
🔴 Inequality fuels the far right and redistribution of wealth is the antidote.
🔴 Collective power and solidarity win over resignation. We are rejecting the feeling that nothing can change!
At the political rally we heard from 13 different left leaders from Europe!
The message was clear: we need to tax the rich, it is not impossible and we will win when we do it!
Thank you for everyone who joined us on stream or live in Milan!

"Global billionaires have grown their wealth by 7 % in a year, and they contribute to the public by 0.3 %. Measures need to be taken against wealth: Tax the rich."
Mikhail Maslennikov @oxfam
@Oxfam@QParrinello@taxobservatory "What is happening in Europe is that the EU is caving in to the influence of rich men.
We need a wealth tax. But we need also need other things. We need to strengthen trade unions and strengthen collective bargaining."
Li Andersson @liandersson@vasemmisto
"We’re left. We’re green. We’re feminist. We’re antiracist. We are not here to make diagnoses. We’re here to change Europe and change the world!"
