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.

Jubilee Iraq campaigns for the cancellation of Iraq's, or rather Saddam's, $200bn foreign debts and war reparations. The Iraqi people have already suffered too much from the countries which financed Saddam, and they shouldn't be required to pay the bill for their own oppression.
