Since the '80s, policymakers have slashed tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans & corporations under the false promise of trickle-down economics. Over the past 45 years, the US tax rate for the wealthiest ⬇️ by 51%, while it ⬆️ by 10% for the bottom 10%. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/t…

As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. The share of national income going to the richest 10% was lowest (and share to the bottom 90% highest) when union membership was high. This is why the UAW victory in Tennessee is a big deal. We must build back union power.

Jailing/fining people for sleeping outside is not the solution to rising levels of homelessness—housing is. Expanding rental assistance can help close the widening gap between incomes and rents. More from @PeggyBaileyDC and @AnnaKBailey cbpp.org/blog/solutions…

Despite calling for “shared sacrifice” in a time of budget constraints, @MayorBowser's proposed FY25 budget demands the biggest sacrifices from DC’s lowest income residents while prioritizing the wealthiest businesses. dcfpi.org/all/unshared-s…

Large cuts to the pay of early childhood educators harm our entire community. @BainumFdn worked for many years toward more equitable compensation for the sector, and we’ll continue to advocate for and support the advancement of equitable systems, including educator compensation.

We stand with @Under3DC @WeAreDCAction in demanding no cuts to #teacher or #childcare pay or programs - in fact, they need a raise!! Powerful rally & coalition building this morning. Forward together, not one step back!

Cutting the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund is a non-negotiable. I continue to stand in solidarity with our educators, and I'm ready to fight. And make sure you all save some of that energy for CFO Lee. It was the unnecessary fight he picked that prompted this cut.

~10% of DC's chronically absent compulsory ed students experienced homelessness. ~12% of youth in DC's delinquency system experienced homelessness before arrest. We need the infrastructure & budget to actually address this root cause of absenteeism & delinquency. #fundprevention

Grateful to my CM @CMCharlesAllen for making an excellent point about eliminating the PEF - this also breaks a promise to the DC residents who voted to inc their taxes for housing, EITC, and the PEF. They took on a tax inc for people, not to refill reserves

DCPS local school budgets for next year: The good news is that general education/at-risk per pupil allocations are more equitable than in prior years, see betsyjwolf.substack.com. The bad news is that most schools--even some gaining enrollment--will have to cut staff. Why?

We see no #justice for the poor in Madam @MayorBowser budget. If the state of the District is strong, why are social services & programs being cut? Please join us Friday morning w @Under3DC @JustRecoveryDC @FairBudgetDC & more bit.ly/Rally4Childcare
