Take Action for Tax Justice

For decades, far too many of our elected officials have put the wants of special interests, corporations and the very rich over the needs of the rest of us. Now, lawmakers seek to cut taxes for corporations and the rich while claiming such policies will benefit working people. Collectively, we can raise our voices to stop the brazen, upward redistribution of wealth.

GET THE FACTS

Facts matter. Explore key facts about our nation's tax system.

SPEAK OUT

Tell your elected officials to stand with working families and enact fair, sustainable tax policies.

MOBILIZE

Together, working people can stand up to special interests and demand a fair, sustainable tax system.

Our current political and cultural environment
is marred by a toxic belief that 
the country's economic order 

is rigged against ordinary Americans

-- the world of high finance
unjustly supersedes their rights,
needs and wants. 

We need to demonstrate a little more patriotism,
and a greater sense of fairness.
Even if it affects our pocketbooks.
