Drawing a red line in Davos
As Donald Trump came back, many of the world’s richest and most powerful arrived in Davos, Switzerland for the hugely influential World Economic Forum meeting. At the same time, a movement resisting billionaire greed is coming together and you can be part of it…
This week we are joining other groups across the world to draw a bold #RedLineToBillionaires.
Many of the people and businesses gathering in Davos have made enormous profits off fossil fuels, war, conflict and exploiting workers. They are now flirting with far-right forces and tightening their grip on our economies and democracies.
JOIN THE ACTION:
Thousands of people have been creating huge, symbolic red lines on the streets in Global South cities and we can all join in with an online action to be part of this global movement.
Over 1500 private jets arrived at the Davos Climate Summit
Here is how you can join:
- Draw a red line on your palm
- Snap a selfie and post it on your social media
- Make a personal statement such as: “I draw the Red Line against super-rich greed!”
- Use the hashtags: #RedLineToBillionaires #Davos2025 #WEF2025
- Tag us: Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky
The global elites continue to fail, again and again, to adopt the solutions we need to tackle the climate crisis and inequality is skyrocketing across the globe. Billionaires like Elon Musk are richer than ever before, as the rest of us struggle with economic crises and climate breakdown.
The World Economic Forum recently released its Global Risks Report, warning that extreme weather events are the world’s top long-term risk.
“This report has reiterated what we all know: that climate change is the world’s most dangerous long-term crisis. In the short term, it is only preceded by misinformation and disinformation. This pairing is a notable reminder as we witness the political shifts taking place alongside this forum.
Having identified the severity of the climate threat and its inextricable link to political changes in seats of power, it is incumbent on world leaders flying into Davos to put climate at the top of the agenda.
The Forum has become an unapologetic display of extreme wealth inequality, an issue that is inextricably linked to climate: they are both fuelled by greed and the hijack of policy decision making spaces by ultra-wealthy interests.
We need an urgent tax on the ultra wealthy, a redistributive taxation system that sees billionaires and the rich countries responsible for climate change paying up to help fix it“

It’s time to draw a red line. Together, let’s rise up to demand decisions are made by the people, for the people.
Onwards!
