We fight inequality to end poverty and injustice – now and for the long term. Join a movement of millions of people to support communities build better livelihoods, grow resilience and protect lives especially in times of crisis. Join us also to tackle the root causes of inequality: years of bad policy that have benefitted the privileged and kept others locked in poverty and injustice. So, we act, donate and campaign together to create change that lasts - because everyone deserves a future of equal opportunity to thrive and not just survive. Change starts now, it starts with you. The future is equal.

Colonial economic systems that are driving today’s inequality crisis weren't created by accident - they were built through policy choices. That means we can unmake them through different choices. Here are ten powerful ways we can build economies that work for everyone. #TakersNotMakers #FightInequality
Behind every statistic in Oxfam's new report #TakersNotMakers represents a real person. Here's how ten people's lives could be different in a world without colonial economic systems. Their stories show us what's possible when we build an economy that works for everyone, not just the few. #FightInequality
Rich people: "Let's go to space!" Everyone else: "How about we solve some problems down here?" Narrator: They won't. #TaxTheRich #FightInequality
Every victory for economic justice started with people believing change was possible. Across generations, communities have joined forces to resist exploitation and build fairer systems. Their successes show us the path forward today. #TakersNotMakers #FightInequality
FACT: Did you know the richest 1 percent in Global North countries like the US, UK and France extracted $30 million an hour from low- and middle-income countries in 2023 via the financial system? This phenomenon is known as unequal exchange (aka: #TakersNotMakers). Oxfam supports communities that are reimagining economic possibilities and challenging colonial systems that are exploitative and building a blueprint for true equality. Change isn't just possible – it's already happening. Together, we can #RightTheWrongsOfHistory. #TakersNotMakers #FightInequality
The ultra-rich like to tell us that getting rich takes skill, grit and hard work. But the truth is most of their wealth is taken, not made. So many of the so-called ‘self-made’ are actually heirs to vast fortunes, handed down through generations of unearned privilege. Wealth is created in a rigged system, but we have the power to rewrite the rules. There is still time to #RightTheWrongsOfHistory and #TaxTheRich to build a more equal future for everyone. #TakersNotMakers
Capitalism: Where time travel savings can't even catch you up to billionaire bank accounts. The ultimate cheat code? Tax. The. Rich. #TakersNotMakers #FightInequality
We're often told that extreme wealth comes from hard work and innovation, that colonialism is "in the past," and that today's economy gives everyone a fair chance. But the data tells a different story. #TakersNotMakers #FightInequality

Communities in the Pacific and around the world are speaking up for better economies. The Super-rich continue to hoard enormous amounts of wealth that alternatively could be put to improving lives by paying teachers, offering universal health and much more. The old economic system is breaking down – it's time to build something better. Let’s #TaxTheRich, #CancelTheDebt, and create an economy that works for everyone.
