Lobby MPs for aid, tax justice and Robin Hood

Teatime for Change

Thursday 9 June

ACT NOW! Keep aid promises, make tax transparent, support a Robin Hood Tax

On Thursday, 9 June, the TUC is supporting a lobby of Parliament organised by British development NGOs, calling on MPs to:

• Keep the promise to spend 0.7% of national income on development (the UN target);
• Make tax transparent, scrap tax havens, and tackle tax avoidance; and
• Support a Robin Hood Tax

You can help, by going to see your MP in Westminster Central Hall on 9 June - register here - and by encouraging union members/activists to do the same.

If you can't go on the day, you can use the materials developed to lobby your MP locally.

A downloadable lobby pack, including briefing material on all these issues is available.
