Economic Market Stability

Markets should work in the interests of society – not the other way around. Robin Hood Tax would be a big step towards a world in which finance behaves responsibly.

Robin Hood Tax could raise billions every year to help ensure that every American has access to quality healthcare, dignified housing, and higher education.

Research and Innovation

Robin Hood Tax could assist in funding key government efforts to support scientific research in health, food safety, medical and infrastructure innovation.

Climate Change + Green Jobs

Robin Hood Tax could raise billions every year to cut greenhouse gas pollution and jumpstart an economy that works for people and the planet – both at home and abroad.
