We have everything in Africa to thrive, to create an economy that's fair and prioritises the wellbeing of people and the planet. Yet, **millions of people don’t have access to an adequate standard of living, health, food, education, energy, water and social security.** Our planet is heating, and our ecosystems are collapsing. Why? Because current systems prioritise profit, promote exploitation, extraction and pollution. Billionaires are obsessed with hoarding wealth. This relentless pursuit of growth often masks the deepening inequalities and the erosion of living standards for the majority.  We are pushing for systemic changes at the national and global levels and asking governments to fix the broken and unfair tax system. It's time to challenge the super-rich who control the world's wealth and drive the planet to ruin with their greed and pollution. **SIGN THE PETITION TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.** Read more African governments: Put our wellbeing at the top of the agenda. **Make the polluting super-rich pay their fair share in taxes!** 0 have signed.
