2. Promote Global Tax Justice
   • Campaign against offshore tax avoidance by corporations and ultra-rich individuals.
   • Push for transparency in corporate ownership and international tax reforms (e.g., global minimum corporate tax).
3. Strengthen Financial Transparency
   • Lobby for public registries of beneficial ownership to end anonymous shell companies.
   • Support legislation requiring multinational companies to disclose profits and taxes paid by country (public country-by-country reporting).

   • Collaborate with media partners to publish impactful investigations that hold power to account.
