<P>Right now, <STRONG>the world stands at a crossroads: billionaires
are hoarding obscene wealth </STRONG>while millions struggle just to
survive.</P>
<P>But for the first time ever, <STRONG>South Africa’s President
Cyril Ramaphosa has a <EM>special opportunity</EM> to change
that.</STRONG> 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.</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>That’s where we come in.<STRONG> 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.</STRONG></P>

rel=noreferrer target=_blank>Add your name now to demand Ramaphosa
push a global billionaire tax at the G20.</A></P>
<P><STRONG>Just a 2% wealth tax on the world’s richest 3,000
billionaires could raise $250 billion every single
year</STRONG>,<STRONG> </STRONG>enough to save lives, protect
ecosystems, and fund a just transition to a greener future.</P>
<P>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. <STRONG>But unless he puts a billionaire tax
on the table, these efforts risk falling short.</STRONG></P>
<P>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 <EM>very</EM> proposal at the G20, winning
support with nations in Latin America and Africa. <STRONG>With
South Africa hosting this year, the momentum is on Ramaphosa’s
side. </STRONG></P>
<P>But momentum alone won’t be enough — <STRONG>we need massive
public pressure to make sure it happens.</STRONG></P>
