We all contribute to the strength of DC’s economy but only a few households see the most benefits. Lawmakers should make the wealthy pay more so we can all have our basic needs met.

[All in for DC: A Just Recovery Campaign @JustRecoveryDC]

We're at today's DC Council meeting, where lawmakers will discuss revenue-raising proposals. This hearing is a culmination of years of advocacy urging lawmakers to think long-term about how to raise revenue equitably.

[DCFPI @DCFPI]

DC Council can raise needed revenue by taxing the District’s concentration of wealth and closing a loophole that allows certain businesses whose owners live outside of DC to avoid paying taxes.

[DCFPI @DCFPI]

Contrary to claims that DC’s tax and spending is “out of control,” the revenue DC has collected for the Local Fund Budget as a share of the economy has been steady over time. Not accounting for inflation produces an exaggerated picture of budget growth.

[DCFPI @DCFPI]

DC’s inadequate revenue growth is due to major changes to the economy, including major strain from federal policies. The Trump admin’s mass layoffs have caused a man-made recession for DC & remote work has driven a steep decline in commercial property values & tax collections

[DCFPI @DCFPI]

If lawmakers fail to raise revenue now, thousands of residents will lose access to critical services and programs, exacerbating poverty and racial disparities. https://t.co/NnQj542m3m

Today, @EricaWilli is testifying to DC Council about the need to address inadequate revenue growth given structural changes to the economy.

After-tax income inequality reached its widest point in at least 17 years. The 2025 reconciliation law didn't help, leaving 9 million children out of the full Child Tax Credit while expanding tax cuts that favor wealthier households. @smhingtgen explains: https://t.co/CzUhgE3Vj0

One year of military occupation in DC.

Thank you for showing up strongly to oppose HR 9720, which would be a major incursion on DC’s right to self-govern.

This bill is the third attack on DC’s ability to budget in less than two years, and it is another attempt to destabilize DC.

[Matt (Marty) Girardi @girardi_matt]

This bill is so smart and exciting. DC with a land value tax could make our city so much more vibrant and equitable!

[All in for DC: A Just Recovery Campaign @JustRecoveryDC]

Corporations and billionaires are choosing profits over democracy. This push from Doordash is just the latest overstep.

Join us in the fight to protect our city from outside influences who are attempting to shape our local tax code: https://t.co/ItBsD6wc6q

[All in for DC: A Just Recovery Campaign @JustRecoveryDC]

Today is the 2nd budget vote. We're here to raise our voices and remind council that DC deserves an economy & a safety net that supports us in uncertain times. We know that wealth exists in DC, & if we raised revenue we could cover the programs that our city deserves.

[All in for DC: A Just Recovery Campaign @JustRecoveryDC]

This system is deeply unfair and people know it. Nearly half of all the wealth in the District is held by just 0.4 percent of households. https://t.co/jzLIK52Ea8

[ITEP @iteptweets]

As wealth inequality grows, local governments across the nation should step up to make the wealthy pay their fairer share in taxes.

Local officials have a range of progressive tax policies that can help fund better public services for their communities.

Hi from the Wilson building 👋🏼

Today we gathered with friends and partners to remind the DC council that housing is a human right, and they need to fund it! We need to invest in our communities, and make sure that the #FY27 budget allocates the funds we need for housing services
