John,

Your activism and support were critical to securing a tax fairness mandate in 2020. Now, as we look ahead to 2021, we have the opportunity to put that mandate into action through a tax fairness agenda. A starting point is President-elect Joe Biden’s tax plan that raises $3.3 trillion over 9 years (including $740 billion to strengthen Social Security) by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share.[1]

Read Mark’s email below about how the work we’ve done together has reshaped what’s politically possible in Washington, DC, and how, with your help, we can enact a fair share tax plan in the new Congress.

Make a year-end tax-deductible donation today to help us lead the fight in 2021 demanding the rich and corporations pay their fair share so we can invest in our country’s future including healthcare, education, green jobs, infrastructure and more.

Thank you for being a critical part of our movement to create an economy that works for all of us.

-- Frank's Email --

John,

How did President-elect Joe Biden withstand hundreds of millions of dollars of attacks, and prevail with a tax fairness mandate?

In 2020, the work of Americans for Tax Fairness was featured 1,600 times in major media outlets. ATF Executive Director Frank Clemente said in an October 22 piece in The Washington Post:

“Biden has taken strong positions on raising taxes on corporations and the wealthy. If he wins, he will have a mandate. Moderate Democrats on the Hill will need to follow his lead and not cower from corporate lobbyists.”

ATF’s consistent fair share tax messaging―not just in 2020, but over the last 8 years―helped to counter the hundreds of millions of dollars spent by Wall Street, corporate media and right-wing groups that attempted to sway public opinion against Joe Biden’s and our progressive tax reform agenda.

Every ATF supporter has played a major role in fighting back against the right-wing media machine. Thank you for your activism and support. Now as we prepare to implement our tax fairness agenda in 2021, we need your year-end support. Donate to ATF today!

This week, ATF was featured in Bloomberg News, discussing a 100 day governing agenda for the incoming Biden-Harris administration:

“Clemente says he’s working with members of Congress and transition officials to turn Biden’s campaign plan into legislation. He has outlined a 100-day tax agenda calling for a Biden White House to increase IRS enforcement, require presidential candidates to release their tax returns, and start rolling back tax preferences for wealthy individuals and businesses.”

We’ve already begun laying the groundwork necessary to advance Joe Biden’s fair share tax mandate in 2021. But the Biden administration is going to need our help even more given the narrower Democratic majority in the U.S. House and control of the U.S. Senate hanging in the balance.

Make a year-end tax-deductible donation to Americans for Tax Fairness today to continue to build strong public support for Joe Biden’s tax fairness mandate and to hold members of Congress accountable to the American people.

We must remind Congress that voters rejected Wall Street’s misinformation campaign in favor of a tax reform agenda that invests in working families and our country’s future, including healthcare, education, green jobs, infrastructure and more.

Thank you for being a critical part of our movement for progressive tax reform that demands the rich and corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
