International 7 Breakout

While state budgets prepare for revenue shortfalls, the ultra-rich, corporations, and their lobbyists have rigged the rules to redirect resources from our communities to their country clubs, from our classrooms to their ballrooms, and from our public parks to their private jets. But state legislators, in collaboration with grassroots organizations, organized labor, and local businesses, are stepping up and organizing year-round to deliver for our families with tax systems to ensure the ultra-rich and corporations pay the taxes they owe and working families get what they’re due. From wealth taxes, corporate tax policies like worldwide combined reporting, and child tax credits, this workshop brings together lawmakers, organizers, and policy experts from states across the country working together to transform the state revenue and budget landscape to support working families rather than the wealthy.
