🌍 AROSP – One Million Signature Petition: https://c.org/w6rvCnxnYv
✊ Tax the Rich, Not the Poor, to Finance Universal Social Protection
Nearly half of the world’s population lives without any form of social protection.
Meanwhile, the richest 10%:
Own three‑quarters of global wealth
Cause over 75% of carbon emissions linked to private capital ownership
Pay far less than their fair share in taxes
👉 The poorest half of humanity owns just 1/50th of global wealth and suffers the brunt of climate disasters, food insecurity, and lack of healthcare. Women, informal workers, migrants, and marginalized communities are hit hardest.
💡 Our Call: Expand social protection — health coverage, maternity protection, child support, pensions, disability support, and more — for ALL citizens, including informal workers, migrant workers, children, youth, older persons, persons with disabilities, LGBTQA , Dalit, indigenous, ethnic, and religious minorities.
💰 How to Finance It:
1️⃣ Impose a 1% annual wealth tax on the richest 1–10%
2️⃣ Exempt essential goods from VAT/GST; raise taxes on luxury goods
3️⃣ Strengthen progressive income taxes
4️⃣ Stop tax abuse by requiring the rich to pay at least the median tax rate
5️⃣ Finance emergency social protection through temporary taxes on the rich, not debt
6️⃣ Support an UN tax convention to ensure corporations pay fair taxes
7️⃣ Build universal, comprehensive social protection systems with sustainable financing
📢 It’s time to demand fairness: TAX THE RICH, NOT THE POOR.
Add your voice to the movement for 1 Million Signatures to secure financing for universal social protection.
