Tax Justice Bus Comes to Spitalfields

This autumn, Christian Aid and Church Action on Poverty are joining forces to take the campaign for Tax Justice on the road, with a seven-week Tax Justice Bus Tour.

The bright red London bus is touring the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland, to promote the simple message: It’s time for Tax Justice for the poorest communities at home and globally.

On Thursday 13th September the bus comes to Christ Church Spitalfields. The Contextual Theology Centre is facilitating a Community Conversation around how local congregations might take practical steps towards economic justice. A panel of contributors chaired by Revd Canon Dr Giles Fraser will  kick start the discussion.
Board the bus from 6.30pm, main event in the church  runs 7-9pm

Panelists:-

Savior Mwamba – Executive Director, Centre for Trade Policy and Development, Zambia
Stephanie Lis – Institute of Economic Affairs
Revd Dr. Sabina Alkire – Director, Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative

Tax dodging costs lives. It effectively amounts to robbing the poor – in the UK and in poor countries – of the money that should be spent on education, health and welfare.
