Event description
In this online event Guppi Bola (she/her) of Decolonising Economics will present the contents of their report “Tax as a tool for racial justice”. This report is the first of its kind in the UK to aim to provide a framework for future research, organising and campaigns. It explains the centrality of the tax system in perpetuating racial wealth inequalities, and the work that needs to be done to repair the harms of structural racism that are embedded into Britain’s economic system.
This event is for researchers, campaigners, academics, social justice organisers and those committed to equitable transformation of the economic system. Together with an invited panel of tax, wealth and economics experts, we will discuss reactions to this report and focus on practical racial justice strategies through the tax system.
Those who register for this online event will be the first to receive a copy of the report a day in advance of the launch event. This is the first of a series of events through 2022 led by Decolonising Economics, Tax Justice Network and Tax Justice UK focused on collective, strategic campaign and advocacy work that addresses ongoing structural inequalities.
