AN ECONOMY
FOR THE MANY.

Tax the rich

AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE.

New York has the highest rate of income inequality in the U.S. because our economy is rigged for corporations and the ultra-wealthy. The rest of us can change that by joining together as the working class to make our state’s 100+ billionaires pay their fair share, strengthen unions and worker protections, and secure good jobs for everyday people. By taking back the wealth we build, we can guarantee every American what they need to thrive.

OUR APPROACH

TAKING BACK OUR WEALTH.

We’re passing laws that make the greedy few pay their fair share of taxes, then investing that money in our communities across the state. We’re also taking back our economic system at every level — banking, local and statewide budgets, our workplaces — so that we all can share in the prosperity of our country.

LEGISLATION

BILLS ON THE TABLE.

Invest in Our New York
Universal Childcare Act
Upstate Parity and Minimum Wage Protection Act

In 2021, we won an annual budget that taxed the rich and big corporations to invest in our communities. But we’re not done yet. We’re continuing to fight with the Invest In Our New York coalition to pass a host of bills that will counter years of austerity and win billions more for New Yorkers. We’re fighting to pass the Corporate Tax Bill, Progressive Income Tax Bill, Capital Gains Tax, Heirs Tax, Billionaires Asset Tax so we can invest in our communities.

The Universal Childcare Act will invest $5 billion into our childcare system and give childcare workers the raises they need and deserve. It will finally create a truly universal childcare system, giving all families access to care from a child’s birth to age 13. It will increase childcare workers’ pay to meet public school teachers’. And it will finally treat childcare as the critical infrastructure it is for everyday people.

This bill would ensure that there is one statewide minimum wage and end a dangerous loophole that prevents guaranteed annual raises.
