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.
