Fighting for gender justice in the courts, in public policy, and in our society.

Justice for her. Justice for all.

Dear John,

Today is Tax Day, which means you're (hopefully) done filing your taxes! However, before you banish the thought of taxes for another year, here’s some food for thought: the current tax code contains loopholes that allow billionaires to cruise by this day without paying their fair share. We need a more equitable tax system that ensures women and families don’t get shortchanged while billionaires continue to profit.
What investments could we make if we taxed the patriarchy? Use our calculator to find out! [[link removed]] The calculator highlights what it would look like to use the money from increased taxes on the very top to support public investments for women and families.

TAX THE PATRIARCHY [[link removed]]

Loopholes and decades of unfair tax cuts have allowed the richest among us to get richer and left everyone else—especially women and people of color—behind. But it doesn’t have to be this way: we can fix the tax code! We have many options, including raising the top income tax rate, changing the way capital gains are taxed, taxing inherited wealth more fairly, and raising the corporate tax rate so that wealthy and profitable corporations pay their fair share. We can also better ensure wealthy tax cheats are paying the taxes they already owe.

The revenue raised from these policies could go towards investments like child care, accessible and affordable housing, paid family and medical leave, and more! Beyond raising money for our shared priorities, a fairer and more progressive tax code would reduce racial and gender wealth gaps [[link removed]] and advance racial and gender equity [[link removed]] .

Join us to mark Tax Day by using our calculator to tax the patriarchy and invest in our collective future. [[link removed]] Then, share our tool with your friends and family so everyone knows just how much we can accomplish by taxing the patriarchy.

In solidarity,
