*[Enwl-eng] Oligarchs beware

It’s time to tax the rich

                        President Ramaphosa holds the G20 gavel — and the 
power to rewrite the global economy.

                        He promised to stand for fairness and justice. Now 
he has the chance to prove it with a global billionaire tax.

                        Tell Ramaphosa: back a global billionaire tax at the 
G20

            Right now, the world stands at a crossroads: billionaires are 
hoarding obscene wealth while millions struggle just to survive.

            But for the first time ever, South Africa’s President Cyril 
Ramaphosa has a special opportunity to change that. As G20 president, he can 
put a global billionaire tax at the top of the agenda — a move that could 
rewrite the rules of the global economy.

            If he feels the weight of people power behind him, Ramaphosa 
could lead a historic shift. But if he doesn’t, billionaires will keep 
getting away with it.

            That’s where we come in. If thousands of us come together, we 
can show Ramaphosa the world is counting on him to lead — and make 
billionaires finally pay their fair share.

            Add your name now to demand Ramaphosa push a global billionaire 
tax at the G20.

            Just a 2% wealth tax on the world’s richest 3,000 billionaires 
could raise $250 billion every single year, enough to save lives, protect 
ecosystems, and fund a just transition to a greener future.

            Ramaphosa has already set the stage. His G20 presidency theme, 
“Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability”, places justice front and center. 
He’s even launched a task force on wealth inequality and economic 
disparities. But unless he puts a billionaire tax on the table, these 
efforts risk falling short.

            A billionaire tax isn’t a pipe dream — it’s practical, 
achievable, and popular. Polling shows strong majorities around the world 
support taxing billionaires.  And last year, Brazil introduced this very 
proposal at the G20, winning support with nations in Latin America and 
Africa. With South Africa hosting this year, the momentum is on Ramaphosa’s 
side.

            But momentum alone won’t be enough — we need massive public 
pressure to make sure it happens.

            Sign now and tell President Ramaphosa: put a global billionaire 
tax on the G20 agenda

            Together, let’s make this year’s G20 remembered not for empty 
words, but for ending the era of billionaires.
