Billionaires shouldn’t exist, but since they do, it’s time to make them pay up for climate solutions! 💚

Today’s climate strike was possibly my last action with @350deutschland.bsky.social after 8.5 years of amazing work building a justice-centered climate movement.

‘The money is there – it's just being used in the wrong way.’

@katecahoon.bsky.social from @350deutschland.bsky.social in an interview with Klimareporter talking social injustice, global climate protests and new movement alliances ahead of #COP30.

Thanks to @klimareporter.bsky.social for the interview. I will never tire of talking about taxing the rich and investing in decent housing, public services and climate-proof communities!

Marched today in Berlin to #DrawtheLine against billionaires & polluters profiting from the climate crisis while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet. So proud to be part of a global wave of protests in over 93 countries- taking action for climate justice & a more just world for all 💚! @350.org

While temperatures reach 46 degrees Celsius in parts of Europe and Jeff Bezos spends tens of millions of dollars on his Venice wedding, governments are cutting funding for public services and telling us to tighten our belts.

This broken system needs to be fixed! #FfD4

"Drawing on the strength of months, years, and decades of community organizing, people are rising up. They are boldly declaring that there is no justice without migrant justice: no climate justice, no economic justice, no racial justice." ✊

How did we get here? Germany has a record number of billionaires hoarding wealth (mainly in the west), while the far-right blames migrants & minorities. We urgently need to tax the rich and address inequality by investing in decent housing, lowering energy costs and future-proofing communities.

Some good news from the German election: the Left party at 8.5% with huge support from young voters means a strong anti-fascist opposition in parliament. And we’re going to need it with a record number of Nazis holding seats & climate sceptic, pro-nuclear Merz as chancellor.

Extremer Reichtum sei eine Gefahr für die Demokratie, warnen 370 Millionäre und Milliardäre in einem offenen Brief beim Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos. Zu den Unterzeichnern gehören auch 20 Superreiche aus Deutschland.

While global elites meet in #Davos2025 this week, we're joining groups from around the world in calling for a #RedLinetoBillionaires 🛑. Billionaires shouldn’t exist, but at the very least their extreme wealth should be taxed to help pay for renewable, affordable energy for all! @350org.bsky.social
