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
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
Will we see you at the Wilson Building? Join our friends at @WIN_DC for a day of organizing at the DC Council offices on Thursday, May 7th, at 12:30 PM, to help shape the future of our city.

Under 3 DC, a coalition that successfully pushed lawmakers to prioritize the pay equity fund in the past, is fighting once again for full funding for the program. At a panel Wednesday, the coalition presented research on the positive economic returns of the pay equity fund

At least 88 of the largest corporations in America paid no federal corporate income taxes for 2025.
More than a dozen of these companies used a tax break for executive stock options to sharply reduce their tax bills. https://t.co/WWR5iRAazu
Extreme inequality is bad for the economy, and it's bad for society. Here in DC, less than half a percent of taxpayers hold almost 50% of wealth. And we know a solution: #TaxTheRich
If DC's Chief Financial Officer Glen Lee certifies funding for the FY26 Contingency List signed into law by @councilofdc, it would fund essential, lifesaving programs including DC Healthcare Alliance 🎉

Join me in celebrating a huge victory for working-class families across the District: we secured the first-ever District Child Tax Credit and an acceleration of the Earned Income Tax Credit expansion. 🎉
Our Chair, Morris Pearl, put it best⬇️
“People don’t move out of NYC because taxes are too high. They move because they can’t afford the rent.”
The real threat to NYC isn’t millionaires fleeing tax hikes. It's the crushing cost of living that pushes working families out.
In addition to a vote on an emergency bill to reject federal tax cuts that would cost DC $658 million in local funds, DC Council is voting on @CMZParker5's amendment to use funds to restore a DC Child Tax Credit.
The highest-paid 5 percent of DC households captured nearly 25 of every 100 dollars of income generated in 2024. Income inequality will likely only continue to worsen with the OBBBA and its massive transfer of wealth from the bottom up.
In DC, people earning more than $1.3 million a year will get an annual tax cut of $41,840. People earning less than $26,7000 will receive only $90--way less than what they'll be spending on rising health care and food costs.
How will your taxes change next year now that the megabill has been signed into law?
People making less than $53,000 could see their taxes increase.
The richest 1% alone will benefit more from Trump’s tax plan than the bottom 80% of Americans.
