ATTAC
www.attac.org
ATTAC (Association for the Taxation of financial
Transactions for the Aid of Citizens) is an international
network of independent national and local groups in 33 countries.
It promotes the idea of an international tax on currency speculation
(the Tobin Tax) and campaigns to outlaw tax havens, replace
pension funds with state pensions, cancel Third World debt,
reform or abolish the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and,
more generally, recapture the democratic space that has been
lost to the financial world. ATTAC is independent from all
political parties, and brings together labour unions, associations,
MPs, academics and citizens from all walks of life, in self-education
and peaceful action.

Earth Rights Institute is dedicated to securing
a culture of peace and justice by establishing dynamic worldwide
networks of persons of goodwill and special skill, promoting
policies and programs which further democratic rights to common
heritage resources, and building ecological communities. We
work for local-to-global public finance policy reform whereby
taxes are removed from labor and productive activities and
resource rents - the surplus value of surface land and natural
resources, including oil and the electromagnetic spectrum
- are collected by transparent government agencies and distributed
to the people as a whole for needed goods and services or
via direct citizen dividend payments.
