Long overdue that DC taxes its highly concentrated wealth with a 3% Wealth Proceeds Tax. No more "We don't have the resources to fund our safety net" "We can't help communities make ends meet in hard times" "Slash essential programs" Let your Councilmember know you support this

BREAKING: We’re disrupting @MayorBowser’s budget engagement forum to ask her which side she’s on – the side of billionaires or the side of DC residents. #BowsersBadMath

Organizations will be posting statements against racism, but here are things they can do to actually prove it. For example, we must see Black people in leadership and their experiences on the job must be free of racism! Click the infographic below

We shut down @MayorBowser's Budget Forum tonight to demand she stop balancing the DC budget on the backs of Black & brown working class people. We have revenue solutions to address budget pressures and also achieve a #TaxSystem4Justice SIGN HERE --> bit.ly/peoplestaxplan

Currently @charlesallen is explaining to @ChmnMendelson that raising taxes on the rich will not impact their livelihood or their decisions on residing in DC. They will be just fine #TaxTheRich to invest in housing!

"Real safety in schools comes from having their [students] full needs met, not from the presence of police officers...the uptick in violence, based on the numbers from the AG, is not playing out in our schools, it's happening in our streets." @CMLewisGeorgeW4 #DCBudgetvote

We mapped out how the DC Council can ensure a #JustRecovery! @ChmnMendelson asked several people today during the COW how they would fund their asks. Lucky for him. We have some ideas! Check out the full image here: bit.ly/2Yb9BcB

The amazing @CMLewisGeorgeW4 is talking about choices - “and who has to make that hardest choices every day in our city. There are people who can’t even make the choice to be here today bc they are fighting to survive and go to work and care for their families” #BrokenHeartBudget

.@MayorBowser says that this year's District budget will be one of hard choices, yet her vision seems to ask Black and Brown working class people to sacrifice while finding money for billionaires. It does not add up! We're at the Budget Forum to call this out. #BowsersBadMath

Deeply grateful to @CMZParker5 for his strong moral stance: “who is the District’s comeback for?” “It is not by happenstance that certain neighborhoods are at the bottom of every bad list and the bottom of every good list” “I reject the premise…” continued

The DC budget threatens to cut essential services for our community, join the fight now @justrecoverydc and @fairbudgetdc We refuse to stand by while our Mayor cuts her way to a budget that will be unsafe for residents and will destabilize the District
