Friend --
The coronavirus pandemic has
highlighted the massive economic inequality in the US. The working
class, particularly in communities of color, has faced unprecedented
levels of unemployment and evictions. Meanwhile, in
California just 165 billionaires have seen their wealth increase by
$175,000,000,000 since March.
That’s why DSA is fighting to
TAX
THE RICH by
fighting for California’s Proposition 15 - The Schools and Communities
First Act. Prop 15 would reclaim $10-12 billion every year
for schools & public services by closing a commercial property tax
loophole that has been exploited for decades by wealthy investors and
corporate landlords.
Before the tax code was rigged in
favor of giant corporations, California’s schools were 4th in the
nation in per-pupil spending; in 2017, California ranked 46th. These
cuts to the social safety net hurt working-class communities of color
the most and weakened public sector unions. Prop 15 is
a monumental step in the fight against austerity in the 5th largest economy in the world.
This is why DSA is proud to stand side by side in this struggle with
labor unions, community organizers, and the millions of ordinary
Californians who are fighting back against the capitalist
class.
Are you ready to fight back with us by donating to our Yes
on 15 campaign? Donating is
especially important right now because the big corporate opponents of
Prop 15 are dumping millions into blatantly false attack ads. That’s
why we need to call
voters and set the
record straight.
Your donation will help us
make
calls to hundreds
of thousands of voters. Donate now to help us tax the rich and win the
funding our schools and communities deserve.
