Millions of our neighbors are facing unemployment, eviction, and COVID-19. But America's billionaires have seen their net worth rise by over $1 trillion since March. Our state is facing a $15 billion budget hole. Cuts to schools, hospitals, and transportation are on the table. The solution is sensible and obvious -- we need to tax the rich!
Lower Hudson Valley DSA is joining a statewide campaign to tax the rich. We are hosting two teach-ins. This event is the Sunday, Jan. 10 (2 pm - 4 pm) session. If you cannot make this, you can sign up for our Tuesday, Jan. 5 (6 pm - 8 pm) session.
Five DSA members are heading to Albany to take their seats in the State Assembly and Senate -- and this will be their first big push. On the teach-in we'll discuss how New York's current tax policy encourages inequality, what raising taxes on the rich will mean for working New Yorkers (including details about the legislation we're proposing), and what you can do. Sign up ASAP!
We'll send out a zoom link to you the day of the event!
