John,
It is the last day of the year, and the same billionaire interests that Americans for Tax Fairness exposed in 2025 are preparing to further rig our economy and our tax code in 2026. More corporate write-offs. More loopholes. More claims that budget cuts are inevitable once the revenue is lost.
This year, Americans for Tax Fairness proved that exposing the truth changes the terrain. We documented how corporations used Trump era tax breaks to dodge billions, boost executive pay, and reward wealthy shareholders while public revenue fell. Then we backed that research with pressure that lawmakers could not ignore.
Our work generated 2,284 media mentions, 6.4 billion earned impressions, and millions of digital impressions, making it far harder for lawmakers to quietly rubber-stamp another giveaway. At the same time, supporters drove over 2.2 million actions demanding Congress reject tax scams and protect critical programs.
Today is the last day of the year, and it’s a critical moment to ensure we have the resources for the fight ahead. So please make an end-of-year donation of $5 or more now to help ensure we can continue exposing corporate tax dodging and pushing back against billionaire giveaways in 2026 and beyond.
We also took this fight beyond the usual audiences. On Tax Day alone, Americans for Tax Fairness partnered on 35 events, driving 28,000 social media posts with a reach of 17.2 million and 332 million impressions. We convened a virtual rally with nearly 2,000 participants and organized 174 state legislators from 23 states to publicly oppose corporate tax giveaways.
This is what it looks like when a coalition fights smart and fights at scale. But this work only continues if it is funded.
As 2025 ends at midnight tonight, your support today ensures Americans for Tax Fairness starts the next year ready to confront Trump, his billionaire backers, and the tax scams they are already pushing.
Your contribution today helps keep this research-driven, people-powered pressure going into the next year. Make an end-of-year, tax deductible donation today.

John,
This year, Americans for Tax Fairness exposed how the tax code continues to be weaponized for billionaires and giant corporations. We showed how profitable companies used the Trump era loopholes to dodge billions in taxes while funneling record sums to executives and shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends.
Americans for Tax Fairness released dozens of reports and fact sheets documenting how so-called temporary business tax breaks are repeatedly revived, draining public revenue year after year and making it harder to fund healthcare, education, housing, and basic services. And, in passing their Big Ugly Bill, Republicans made many of these tax breaks for the rich and corporations permanent, even while claiming there is no money for services for working families.
We paired our research with pressure. We organized hundreds of Hill meetings and helped shape a clear anti-billionaire message that cut through because it named who benefits and who pays. When lawmakers tried to move tax giveaways quickly and quietly, we made the costs visible and politically unavoidable.
We also took this fight public at scale. Americans for Tax Fairness generated 2,284 media hits reaching 6.4 billion earned media impressions, alongside tens of millions of impressions across social platforms. That reach mattered because it forced corporate tax dodging and budget hypocrisy into the national conversation instead of letting it stay buried in committee rooms.
This kind of visibility takes sustained research, rapid response, and the capacity to move quickly when new tax scams surface. Every report, briefing, press push, and organizing campaign is part of the same effort to make sure billionaire giveaways cannot slide through Congress unnoticed. The pressure only works if it is constant, coordinated, and well-resourced.
In order to keep exposing and stopping these tax scams, we need your end-of-year support today. Please make a year-end tax-deductible donation to Americans for Tax Fairness and power our research, reporting, and activism in the New Year.
This year, Americans for Tax Fairness supporters and partners took over 2.2 million actions, including a single campaign that produced 256,000 letters demanding Congress reject a corporate tax giveaway. That kind of volume changes what lawmakers are willing to do behind closed doors.
We also expanded who hears these arguments. Through a new influencer pilot, Americans for Tax Fairness reached 2.2 million views and 185,000 engagements, and our Latino outreach generated 701 Spanish-language media placements reaching an estimated 200 million people. That work highlighted what’s at stake for that community, including research showing that letting Affordable Care Act tax credits expire could cause 1 million Latinos to lose health coverage.
The opposition understands exactly what they are doing. Trump and his billionaire allies have made these tax breaks permanent and will use the resulting deficits to justify further cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical services.
We’re preparing now to meet that push with hard evidence, public pressure, and coordinated organizing that forces accountability.
Please make an end-of-year donation of $5 or more to help power this work in 2026 and beyond.
