The first Attac chapter was created in 1998 following an editorial in Le Monde Diplomatique (or LMD) with the first aim being the creation of a tax on financial transactions. Since then, Attac analyses spread over a wide range of topic all linked to global justice. Attac does not only expose the negative consequences of de-regulated financial markets, neoliberal trade policies and the privatisatio
n of public services. Furthermore, Attac develops concrete proposal for a different - more just - world. We say:
An other world is possible! Join Attac UK, UK is the country in Europe where Attac is needed. The center of the financial system in Europe needs to be challenged on its own ground. No we do not need a financial system like the one we have. This is bringing countries and peopes to their knees in order to please the rich and powerfull. The aim of Attac UK is to link the struggles. The austerity measures we face are a direct consequence of our financial systems, where banks are too big too fall and we, the citizens face the consequences. But not just in the UK the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Together we are powerful! So we believe: Unite and fight! Attac is a global network which makes it easier to link the struggles, with shared campaigns and the same creative direct actions in many different countries on the same day. Welcome to become active with Attac UK because together we are strong! Our first meeting will be on September the 31st.
