Labor organizations and advocates unite to launch a campaign for taxing the ultrawealthy to fund public goods and combat GOP budget cuts.
A broad coalition of labor organizations and community advocates are coming together to launch a campaign aimed at raising taxes on the ultrawealthy.
In a press briefing on Thursday, organizers outlined their plan to pressure state governments to enact a “Tax the Rich” agenda aimed at mitigating the harms done by the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which in the coming years is set to take an axe to funding for programs such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), while showering corporations and the wealthy with more tax cuts.
