John,
Did you know that two-thirds of the American people support Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax, which can be a critical way to invest in our future―reducing poverty, creating millions of good-paying jobs, and addressing the racial wealth gap?
Read Deborah's email below for more details about how a small tax on the richest 100,000 households could help transform our country and pull us out of this pandemic recession. Then chip in to CHN today to demand Congress act!
There are a lot of urgent needs facing our country, which we can’t afford not to address. Passing Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax will allow us to invest in a future that includes all of us.
Thank you,
Nicolai Haddal Field and Events Manager, Coalition on Human Needs

John,
We need a major investment in human needs. That means creating millions of good-paying jobs and investing in critical services to pull us out of this pandemic recession.
And Senator Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax will allow for the kinds of investments our communities desperately need. It will generate $3 trillion in revenue over 10 years by placing a small tax on the richest 0.05% of American households.
To be clear: If you don’t have wealth over $50 million, you won’t pay a nickel more in taxes.
In the midst of a pandemic that has seen a 45% increase in billionaire wealth—while millions of families are struggling to keep a roof over their heads—it’s time for the wealthy to start paying their fair share.
Chip in to CHN today to fight for Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax, so we can use those funds to address poverty, inequality and the racial wealth gap―and advance our agenda to meet human needs.

This landmark legislation will generate substantial resources to rebuild our economy, reduce poverty and create economic opportunity for all people―regardless of race or ethnicity.
In the coming weeks, the Biden administration will put forward a Build Back Better jobs plan to repair our crumbling national infrastructure, stimulate a green energy economy, make healthcare more affordable, improve education and more.
This will take a multi-trillion dollar investment―and at least a major part of it should be paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share in taxes. Senator Warren's wealth tax will pave the way to fund efforts to expand the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid for people with low incomes, improve the affordability of health care for older Americans and people with disabilities, expand rural health and mental health services, and effectively fight the opioid epidemic.
With these funds, we could repair our crumbling and woefully inadequate infrastructure; build broadband access throughout each state―connecting students to classrooms and rural communities with the world; create millions of good-paying jobs, and transform our economy away from fossil fuels and toward a green energy economy.
Can you chip in $5 or more today to help pass Senator Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax to invest in our country’s future?
Whether it’s strengthening public education, making childcare affordable for working families, providing universal preschool and free public community college, and expanding access to more advanced education, while also wiping out a lot of student debt―Senator Warren’s wealth tax is the place to start.
Thank you for all you do to fight for a future that includes all of us, not just the wealthy few.
