"A Gaza ceasefire without justice or Palestinians at the table is a betrayal" - Ruth James, Oxfam's regional humanitarian coordinator in @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social
A Gaza ceasefire without justice or Palestinians at the table is a betrayal
Palestinian families have been starved and bombed for two years, their lives and livelihoods shattered. Without true accountability, there can be no healing

📢Over 1 Million people around the world are calling on governments to make rich polluters pay. This week we took that number to #COP30 in Belém.

Today in Edinburgh, we joined @patmillsuk.bsky.social to bring the ‘Tax Us, the Super-Rich’ bus to town.

Millionaires have a message for the UK Chancellor: Tax us more.

Fairer taxes on wealth could help lift people out of poverty and fund the future we all deserve #TaxJusticeScotland

We’re amplifying Indigenous voices, demanding climate finance for those on the frontline. It’s time for real action and resources to protect people and the planet.

Ten years ago in Paris, every country pledged bold action to cut emissions and tackle the climate crisis. Since then, the super rich have burned through twice as much carbon pollution as the bottom 50% of humanity combined.

Out of the 50,000 attendees at COP29 last year, we saw only 180 indigenous representatives.

How can we fairly discuss real climate justice when this tiny fraction represents the people who protect 80% of Earth's biodiversity?

Did you know you pay more fuel tax on a single car journey than a billionaire does on a private jet flight?

Right now the gov is subsidising tax breaks, when they could be using that tax to generate billions for public services.

How do the richest people on Earth get away with destroying the planet? They built a fortress of money, lawsuits, lobbyists, banks, propaganda, and hate. But every fortress has a weakness: us.
