Where have we heard this before? 🤔 prospect.org/2025/10/23/m...

While CM Parker's amendment to add a surcharge to capital gains income to help pay for ending homelessness, DC's child tax credit, & more didn't pass, we thank the CMs who worked to raise resources for the critical programs that support DC residents with the fewest resources.

This legislation will make the rich richer, & they're paying for it by slashing programs for the working-class. @itep.org's analysis reveals how much will go to the wealthy while many Americans struggle.

The tax brought in $2.46 billion for the state in 2023 alone, which can be spent on free school lunches for students and free community college for state residents.

Today is the Committee of the Whole (COW) hearing. We're at the Wilson building, and we'll be highlighting testimony from JRDC members all day long!

The money raised from the Massachusetts wealth tax will be invested in education and transportation. By building a more progressive and equitable tax code, we can ensure everyone shares in DC's prosperity. loom.ly/BrK6jgI

Roughly 1,500 households hold 1/2 the wealth in DC. And, Congress is gutting vital programs, taking food off people’s tables to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Add your name to our petition for raising DC tax rates on incomes above $1 million: loom.ly/vqqEc6s

A Business Activity Tax is a simple reform that would make our tax system more equitable by ensuring that businesses operating within DC pay their fair share. @dcfpi.bsky.social estimated that a 2% BAT rate could generate approx. $500 million a year. [email protected]: loom.ly/zSd-OPA

Maryland residents who make a million dollars a year will be paying higher taxes, with those earning less paying lower rates. We know that the rich can afford to pay more, and Maryland is putting that knowledge into action with their latest budget. loom.ly/5Vueaek

Mayor Bowser has proposed a FY26 #DCBudget and financial plan that abandons residents with the fewest resources to fend for themselves in the coming storm. Read the DC Fiscal Policy Institute’s initial analysis of what’s in the mayor’s proposal: loom.ly/QxmLq4Q

We're live on Twitter, holding a press conference in response to the proposed budget, and calling on the DC Council to raise revenue by taxing wealth to preserve the programs and services we care about. Watch here: x.com/JustRecovery...

Immediately following the mayor's 11am FY26 #dcbudget presentation, All In for DC will hold a press conference outside MLK Library in response to the proposed budget & call on DC Council to raise revenue by taxing wealth in order to preserve the programs & services we care about.

The House of Reps just passed major tax legislation that would make the rich richer, & they're paying for it by slashing programs for the working-class. @itep.org's analysis shows how much will go to the wealthy while so many Americans are struggling. itep.org/analysis-of-...

Today, the House approved a budget bill that included devastating cuts to programs like SNAP and Medicare, programs that tens of thousands of people in DC rely on every day. These plans would create new cuts and barriers that would have sustained effects on the District.

At a time of deep economic uncertainty, the Mayor's agenda fails to embrace policies that grow DC’s economy from the bottom up and middle out, paving the way for worsening inequality. www.dcfpi.org/all/mayors-e...

Today is #TaxDay. In DC, an executive making $1.1 million a year pays on average a smaller share of their income in taxes than a middle-class family with two parents earning $60,000 each. Local lawmakers must raise revenue by taxing the extreme concentration of wealth in DC.

Thank you to all the Council offices who met with us today to listen to our call for a just tax system! We are grateful for the hard work Councilmembers are already doing to find ways to raise revenue—and look forward to seeing our proposals used to avoid budget cuts.

The concentration of billionaires in DC proves that we can and should raise revenue through taxes on ultra-wealthy individuals and redistribute that wealth to residents who struggle to make ends meet. www.axios.com/local/washin...

We're hosting an Advocacy Day THIS Thursday, April 10th to build momentum for taxing wealth and fight for our budget priorities. We’ll start the day at 10am with an orientation and briefing on our budget priorities, then visit Council offices. RSVP here: bit.ly/JRDCadvocacyday

The IRS predicts a 10% drop in revenue due to wealthy households/businesses skipping tax payments. These people already go without paying their fair share—now they're trying to not pay at all. We need to get serious about taxing the rich & making sure those taxes are collected.

22 Senators have told us they are either undecided on cloture or planning to vote yes. We want them to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE. Call Senators today and make it clear you want them to stop this power grab over DC: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We are in the Senate today telling every member to vote NO on cloture and NO on this CR. We’re in the middle of a power grab and it’s up to us to stop it.

Our statement on last night's Congressional vote to cut $1 billion from DC's budget: justrecoverydc.org/news/stateme...

The House rules committee rejected Congresswoman Norton’s amendment to prevent $1B in cuts to DC programs and services that we pay for with our own money; Congress should reject this CR that looks to punish DC just because www.dcfpi.org/all/congress...

DC is currently facing a potential $1 billion loss in revenue. On top of that, Republicans in Congress are trying to interfere in our budget, bringing spending levels down another $1 billion lower than today's needs. Join Free DC TODAY @ 3PM to fight Congressional interference!

Local revenues are expected to decline by more than $1 billion over the next 3 years compared to previous estimates, largely due to federal layoffs steep enough to throw DC into a mild recession, according to the CFO's new revenue forecast. Read more: www.dcfpi.org/all/dc-expec...

Federal officials are slashing programs like Medicaid & SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich, jeopardizing DC residents' ability to meet their basic needs. DC leaders need to rise to the occasion by raising adequate revenue to support needed investments. justrecoverydc.org/fy26-budget-...
