John,

Earlier this month, House Republicans voted to repeal $71 billion in new IRS funding secured last year in the Inflation Reduction Act. Some have gone so far as to introduce a bill to abolish the IRS and replace income taxes with a national sales tax.

In response, Americans for Tax Fairness and Prosperity Now are organizing a nationwide IRS Funding Day of Action TOMORROW to fight disinformation and support the public with the facts on why we need IRS funding. We’d love for you to join us—download the toolkit here!

Save the Date: January 31. Join us for an IRS Funding Day of Action to fight disinformation and show your support for IRS funding as a critical part of building a fairer economy. #FundtheIRS

It is critical that we have a strong IRS that supports working families to collect the hundreds of billions of dollars that the wealthy and corporations already owe in taxes. The funding is also needed to boost IRS staffing so that tax refunds and phone calls from taxpayers get dealt with promptly.

We're banding together to fight back against the attacks on and disinformation about the IRS. We need to make sure the public and the media understand the importance of bolstering tax enforcement funding and taxpayer services at the IRS. Without a strong IRS, we cannot achieve a fair tax system.

Feel free to reach out to me ([email protected]) with any questions or other ways to plug in or add to this effort—we hope you can join us!

Sincerely,

Joanna Ain
