We were proud to stand with Invest in Our New York, PSC-CUNY, @aqeny.bsky.social, @jfrejnyc.bsky.social, @ourtimefornyc.bsky.social, @maketheroadny.bsky.social & @uawregion9a.bsky.social.
This powerful movement demands the rich pay what they owe to fund our future. Will @governor.ny.gov listen? 🤔
“By advancing statewide revenue proposals and giving New York City the authority to raise revenue from millionaires, we can lift the burden off lower- and middle-income families and invest in the future of our communities,” said @votejgr.bsky.social.
"New York has more billionaires and millionaires than anywhere else on Earth. There is no excuse for anyone in our state to lack housing, healthcare, or food. The wealthiest New Yorkers must pay their fair share to ensure we are taking care of our people,” said @emilyassembly.bsky.social 🔥
Our newest Socialist in Office @dianaforqueens.com spoke powerfully about what it’s like to be a working parent and how urgent the fight for universal childcare is. She’s introduced her ✨ FIRST ✨bill with @sengonzalezny.bsky.social to tax big corporations & support working families 🔥
James Davis, PSC-CUNY President, knows the stakes of this fight for CUNY professors, students & unions.
“The ultra-rich can afford to pay their fair share to help fund universal childcare, free buses, full funding for Pre-K- through college, & other critical public goods."
"@governor.ny.gov & the legislature have the power to deliver a budget that responds to New Yorkers’ affordability concerns,” said Invest in Our New York's Brahvan Ranga. "For us to build a state that is affordable for all, the wealthiest must pay their fair share in taxes."
New York City faces a crisis. @chiosse.bsky.social, @cmrestler.bsky.social & @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social say tax the rich.
“I’m calling on the state government to raise taxes on those with the most & to entrust NYC with the power to tax our own millionaires & large corporations,” said Ossé.
“New York is home to the highest concentration of wealth in the country yet our tax system coddles the ultra-wealthy," said State Senator Gustavo Rivera.
"We need to make New York a great place to live for all New Yorkers—not just billionaires."
Albany needs to pass the NYC Corporate Tax allowing NYC to tax wealthy corporations & raise over $1B, says @sengonzalezny.bsky.social:
“When we say tax the rich, what we’re asking for is an investment in our communities, an investment in our futures & an economy that works for everyone.”
“What @governor.ny.gov isn’t telling New Yorkers is that if she doesn’t tax the rich, YOU are the ones who’ll foot the bill,” said @jumaane.bsky.social.
“The Governor is protecting wealthy New Yorkers over ALL New Yorkers. Tax the rich.”
Today, NYC-DSA was joined by a big coalition to send 1️⃣ message to @governor.ny.gov : Tax. The. Rich.
Elected officials from the city to the state spoke in one voice to tell Albany that we need BOTH statewide taxes on the rich AND taxes on NYC's millionaires & big corporations.
Reasons to knock doors this Saturday to Tax the Rich:

Our pressure is working. Yesterday, over 34 volunteer lobbying groups had dozens of meetings and stopped by over 100 legislative offices.
This kind of mass-lobbying, paired with our tireless field work, has pushed dozens of legislators to sign on to our bills in the last month.
While billionaire-backed politicians sit on their hands during a crisis for working people, we—along with our partners in @ourtimefornyc.bsky.social, @uawregion9a.bsky.social, @psc-cuny.org & many more—are fighting to make the wealthiest New Yorkers pay to stop the cuts & fund the services we need.
Yesterday, thousands of New Yorkers took work off, traveled hours across the state days after a blizzard, and showed up in Albany with a clear message: It’s time to TAX THE RICH.
