On April 25th, VOCAL-NY joined ACT UP for a march marking their 25th anniversary that called for a Financial Speculation Tax, also known as the “Robin Hood Tax,” to fund domestic and global healthcare, including universal access to HIV/AIDS treatment. A Robin Hood Tax would raise revenue to save lives while discouraging speculative activity that helped crash our economy, which is why we’ve been advocating for it since the start of the financial crisis, including World AIDS Day in 2011 and the Showdown on Wall Street in 2010.
