As we embrace #SecondHandSeptember, it’s time to rethink not just our wardrobes but also the ethics behind them. 🌎 🧥 Brands like Roots continue to hide poor working conditions and low wages in their supply chains. Did you know their CEO makes $276 an hour, while a Cambodian garment worker would need 17 years to earn the same? The gap is shocking. We’re calling on Roots to commit to living wages and transparency.

For the first time in history, the world’s largest economies have agreed to cooperate to tax the ultra-rich. On July 24, Oxfam and partners handed Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad petitions with over 1.5 million signatures from people across the world calling on G20 leaders to tax the ultra-rich. In response to the Rio de Janeiro G20 Ministerial Declaration on International Tax Cooperation published on July 25, Oxfam is pleased to see serious global progress. Finally, the richest people are being told they can’t game the tax system or avoid paying their fair share. “Now to the next step: at the G20 Summit in November this year, leaders need to go further than their finance ministers and back concrete coordination: agreeing on a new global standard that taxes the ultra-rich at a rate high enough to close the gap between them and the rest of us”. – Susana Ruiz, Tax Policy Lead, Oxfam International Read Oxfam’s full reaction to the Ministerial Declaration here: https://lnkd.in/egr5p8yf Oxfam Brasil Avaaz Patriotic Millionaires taxmenow 350.org Fight Inequality Alliance WeMove Europe
