Today we helped deliver over 700K signatures to Rachel Reeves at the Treasury, calling for higher taxes on the super-rich in her upcoming #UKBudget.

We joined forces with partners to send a clear message: TAX THE SUPER-RICH 💰

Time for Rachel Reeves to pick a side: billionaires or ordinary people?

JBS’ inclusion in major US stock indexes means our money is linked to deforestation and climate chaos. The world needs to know what JBS really stands for: Just. Bull. Sh*t.
