The Steering Committee has voted tax justice (Tax the Rich?) as a priority program and believes that organizing for a more progressive and sustainable tax system will galvanize a broad worker and community-based coalition all over the State. Our strategy is to hold multinational, powerful, and corrupt corporations accountable for designing the most regressive state tax system in the nation. We will mobilize unique worker voices to balance out the power of the current tax system designers. This is a multi-year effort that will:

• Change the conversation about taxes
• Lift up worker values and concerns
• Surface injustices of corporate/government collusion
• Build power for low wage earning communities
• Implement a fair revenue system for critical services that doesn't raid worker pay and benefits but seeks to restore a balanced approach to support our state's families.
