Attac

What Attac does

Attac Österreich is an independent, Vienna-based non-profit advocacy organization founded in 2000 as the Austrian node of the international Attac network. Its mission is to subject financial markets and economic policy to democratic, social, ecological, and gender-just control, and it pursues this through campaigns and public education on tax justice, climate justice, fair trade, food sovereignty, social security, disarmament, and democratic reform. The organization is registered as an eingetragener Verein (ZVR 969464512) and operates a decentralized nationwide structure of regional groups, topic groups, and special teams, including radioattac. It is politically independent and refuses party financing to preserve its ability to take adversarial positions.

Direct peers

• Netzwerk Soziale Verantwortung (NeSoVe): Austrian network of organizations for corporate social responsibility and ethical economy. Directly comparable as a coalition-style Austrian advocacy organization on economic justice issues, and an existing Attac organizational member.
• Amnesty International Österreich: Austrian human rights advocacy organization. Comparable in advocacy model, membership dues, publications, and Austria-wide grassroots mobilization; focuses on civil/political rights rather than economic justice.
• Volkshilfe Österreich: Austrian social welfare advocacy NGO and existing Attac organizational member. Comparable as a donation-funded Austrian advocacy organization with social-justice focus and coalition-style governance; primarily service-delivery-oriented rather than campaign-oriented.
• Global 2000 (Österreich): Austrian environmental and consumer advocacy NGO. Comparable in mission overlap (climate justice, corporate accountability), member/donation funding model, and Vienna-based operations; narrower focus on environment and consumer protection.
• Attac Deutschland: German sister organization within the same international Attac network. Directly comparable in mission (tax/fair trade/climate justice), membership-driven non-profit structure, and advocacy model; differs only by geography and German-specific political context.
• Oxfam Österreich: Austrian chapter of international development/justice NGO. Directly comparable on tax justice, fair trade, and global economic inequality campaigns; member/donation-funded and Vienna-based.
• Attac France: Original founding chapter of the Attac network (1998). Operates the same global-economic-justice advocacy model through membership and donations; provides the brand and intellectual lineage that Attac Österreich extends.
• SOS Mitmensch: Austrian human rights and refugee advocacy organization and existing Attac organizational member. Comparable in size, Vienna-based donation-funded advocacy model, and overlap on democratic/civil-rights issues.

Broad incumbents

• Caritas Österreich: Large Austrian Catholic charitable and social advocacy organization. Comparable in scale, donation/membership funding, advocacy on social justice, and broad coalition network; significantly larger and more service-delivery oriented.
• Greenpeace Österreich: Austrian arm of a major global advocacy NGO. Comparable as a donation/membership-funded Austrian advocacy organization with campaigns on climate, social, and economic justice; broader remit (environment primary) makes it an incumbent rather than direct competitor.
