Advocacy and campaigns
We mobilise people to challenge the structures that sustain poverty and advocate for a better world.
We believe that the only way to truly end poverty is to challenge the systems that keep power and money concentrated to a small few. That’s why we’re tackling unfair tax systems, climate policy that favours polluters and corporations denying their workers a living wage. We target poverty at its root to end it for good.
Our work activates and mobilises people to dismantle the power structures that sustain poverty, creating a fairer world for all.
Together with our local partners, the communities we work with and our global movement of supporters, we advocate for fair systems and policies. we call out inequality when we see it, amplify the voices of the many and demand decision makers pay attention.
