As @rooseveltinstitute.org President and CEO @elizabethwwilkins.bsky.social writes in her brilliant foreword, these reforms can help create a more inclusive and cohesive society.

What's needed? To deliver for ordinary people by tackling extreme inequality, Oxfam calls for:
🔹Rebalancing power
🔹Unrigging the tax code
🔹Reimagining the safety net
🔹Supporting workers' rights

@warren.senate.gov says it best, in her powerful foreword to our report.

The divides we see today are no accident. Since 1989, the top 1% grabbed at least 987x more wealth per household than B20.

Policymakers have prioritized the wealthy over ordinary people. We get into Reagan on labor, Clinton's welfare reforms, Bush's tax cuts for the rich & more.

Unfortunately (unless you're a billionaire) the very rich do keep getting richer.

📈The richest 0.1%'s share of assets (12.6%) & the stock market (24%) are now higher than any time in modern history.

Such extreme wealth-->outsized power, corroding democracy.

NEW: @oxfamamerica.bsky.social's US inequality report🧵

10 richest Americans gained $698 billion in the past year.

As tens of millions struggle to get by, Trump policies could drive US inequality to new extremes.

We dive deep on how we got here, and the change needed.

Journos: on Monday November 3 @oxfamamerica.bsky.social is releasing a new report on #inequality in the #USA.

Contact me regarding interview requests or for an embargoed copy of the press release and report. Thanks!

So grateful to connect with global movements demanding justice at #FFD4.

A real source of hope. As we fight US efforts to take away families' food and healthcare to give billionaires tax breaks, and tank multilateralism to pad the profits of corporations.

La lucha continua✊

Just five Texans telling Congress NO to putting billionaires and profits before ordinary people.

So inspired by the incredible folks who came to DC to join @oxfamamerica.bsky.social for International Women's Day. #IWD2025

We need to tackle inequality to improve the lives of people everywhere.

The good news is—we can.

Starting with taxing extreme wealth.

And rewriting outdated global economic rules.

We need fair representation of Global South countries, debt cancellation, a UN tax treaty, and more.

We focus on colonialism as a major driver of global inequality—historically, but also as a powerful force today.

Global North countries hold 69% of global wealth, but just 21% of the world's population.

And vast sums continue to flow from the Global South to the Global North.

Billionaires had a phenomenal 2024.

This tiny group—less than 3,000 people—gained $2 trillion dollars overall.

The world's 10 richest men gained on average $100 million a day.

If they lost 99% of their wealth, they would still be billionaires.

NEW: Oxfam's global inequality report🧵

Billionaires gained $2 trillion in 2024, 3x the rate of '23.

At this pace we expect 5 trillionaires in a decade. While billions live in poverty.

We dive deep on colonialism, inheritance & the bold action we need: oxf.am/TakersNotMak...

It's not fair for wealthy tax cheats to get away scot-free, while the people who expose such abuse get locked up for excessive periods.

As four top tax profs argue today in a new letter, President Biden should commute Charles Littlejohn's sentence: inequality.org/article/plea...

Respect for human rights means no one should go hungry or unhoused.

That's why this human rights day, we're looking at transformative economic policies that reduce inequality and fulfill rights.

Evidence-based and also movement-backed. Check it out: www.oxfamamerica.org/press/press-...

Our new report, Inequality, Inc., is out now.

We find billionaire wealth has reached new heights & we're on track to see the world's first trillionaire in a decade.

Next week on January 15, Oxfam publishes its annual global inequality report, just as the 1% kick off Davos.

Journos can contact annie.theriault@oxfam.org for an embargoed copy and interview requests.

This week I did a deeply nerdy thing and attended SCOTUS arguments in Moore v US, a radical anti-tax case that could exacerbate inequality & set back efforts to tax the rich.
