"As is, the proposed budget will set back the progress that DC has made on poverty reduction, greater economic inclusion, and shared prosperity." A statement from @EricaWilli in response to the mayor's FY 2025 budget proposal. dcfpi.org/press-releases…

2024 Economic Report of the President dedicated the first chapter to our very own beloved and greatly missing Dr. William Spriggs. He was a giant and left a lasting impact on how we think about labor economics. @HowardU @HU_COAS @hufaculty

Like hundreds of Lyft users, I received an email today that they’re leaving Mpls on May 1st. What they fail to mention is that they’re choosing to “leave” because they simply do not want to pay their drivers, a largely Black & immigrant workforce, our minimum wage of $15/hr.
“We often refer to her as ‘OG Squad,’” said Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Mass. “We could not do what we do — show up fully, authentically, unapologetically — if Barbara Lee hadn’t kicked that door down and verbally hadn’t broken those concrete ceilings.” 19thnews.org/2024/03/barbar…
Millionaires & billionaires should pay #SocialSecurity tax ALL year on ALL income like the rest of us. Right now, they only pay on the first $168k and stop in March. We can fix this. See our NEW #ScrapTheCap analysis by CEPR’s @emmacurchin. bit.ly/ScrapTheCap24
Begging journalists to stop saying we shut down on March 1. That’s the *deadline* because that’s the last day of action, but all govt functions are open on Friday the 1st. The shut down would be on Saturday the 2nd. It’s important people know govt functions continue on Friday.

People often ask us what a 19th story is & @_darreonna's latest is a great example. She's spotlighting an issue (& a potential solution) with a direct gender impact, but you'll rarely see it covered this way. No surprise it's resonating with our readers. 19thnews.org/2024/02/employ…
Unless you are very rich, corporate tax cuts under Trump did not help you. Instead, they enriched the richest. Great thread, great paper.

Instead of our Wall Street-dominated banking system, with its predatory and discriminatory practices, we can build a democratic financial system that puts community needs above private profit. That is why @RepAOC and I are introducing the Public Banking Act.
what Kate said!!!!!!
great @NPR piece on what's at stake with Moore v. United States, a Supreme Court case that could open the floodgates to chaos in our tax code and enable the the wealthiest people in our country to dodge even *more* in taxes than they already do. npr.org/2023/12/03/121…

I saw "Luca" in a theater this past weekend & loved it. It was a victim of the early pandemic -- too bad, because it plays like a proper big-screen movie. The experience got me thinking about other films from that period that should come back to theaters. rogerebert.com/mzs/on-luca-te…
She had options but chose to target early educators, working families with low incomes, wealth-building for poor kids, eviction prevention svcs, and all with low and mod incomes via sales tax. That's not shared sacrifice. #dcbudget #taxsystemforjustice #justrecoverydc
New: Bowser's 2025 budget does exactly what many advocates feared, wiping out a key fund providing raises for childcare workers. The mayor's team blames the CFO for forcing them to move this money elsewhere. Does that leave any hope for its restoration? washingtoncitypaper.com/article/687687…
We were outspent 50:1* and we won. Billionaires can’t buy Kansas City, billionaires can’t extort the people. Not with @KCTenants, the 10,000-member tenant union fighting back 😌
