The Trump Administration is prioritizing billionaire wealth over the lives of millions around the world, who will now be pushed even deeper into poverty. This is an inequality crisis.

Today's fun fact: The Trump Administration's cuts to humanitarian and development aid are HALF of what they gave the ultra-wealthy in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Quite literally giving handouts to the world's richest while cutting from the world's poorest: www.oxfamamerica.org/press/just-o...

The famine in Gaza Governorate is entirely driven by Israel’s near-total blockade on food and vital aid, the horrifying consequence of Israel’s violence, and its use of starvation as a weapon of war. 1/4

The Trump admin just ordered emergency food aid to be burned—even after Marco Rubio testified it wouldn’t happen. That food could have fed 1.5 million children for a week. This is the cruel consequence of dismantling USAID and ending lifesaving assistance. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

When the Trump admin slashed humanitarian aid programs, it claimed broad support from the American people. We investigated this claim & what we learned was clear: The American public rejects Trump’s extreme cuts to lifesaving & development aid.

President Trump's tax bill is a historic act of cruelty that showers the ultra-rich in tax handouts while taking food and healthcare away from ordinary people. Protests show just how unpopular this bill really is while Congress and the president cater to billionaires.

On #TaxDay, we kicked off our tax the ultra-rich yacht tour in Augusta, Maine to call on policymakers to fix our broken tax system and protect vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP. Fight inequality, tax the ultra-rich.

Amazing Oxfam Sisters on the Planet and Action Network Activists advocated for tax policies that benefit women and girls this #IWD. Folks learned more about the tax fight and how we can take action to rewrite our failed tax system so that it can fight inequality—not fuel it.
