@DanPriceSeattle Hello Dan, new friend here. I’m working on a ballot initiative in Oregon to tax the biggest corps 3% *after* $25M and rebate the new revenue to every Oregonian. About $750 per person per year. Reduces overall poverty by 15%, child poverty by 26%. How does this sound to you?

[Antonio Gisbert @agisbertphd]

Hey @potus & congress! Please pass the monthly #ChildTaxCredit

@CR_PDX are you all currently active? DM please!

[Antonio Gisbert @agisbertphd]

@RBReich, good analysis, different proposed solution. @OPR2022 increases min taxes of the largest corps and uses cash rebates to increase the take-home pay of the typical Oregon household by about 4%. https://t.co/0hK0u8w8cH

Ten million children across the nation will slip into poverty because everyday people cannot count on an oil baron Senator from West Virginia to do the right thing. Fortunately for Oregonians, we have the initiative process: https://t.co/dauGRSRSjw #PeoplesRebate #ChildTaxCredit

[Peter T. Knight @ptknight_]

The expanded Child Tax Credit has been one of the single most important policies to reduce childhood poverty in a generation. Petitions are being delivered to Congress from constituents urging them to #ProtectTheCTC @SenSchumer @SenatorDurbin @RonWyden @SpeakerPelosi @RepJeffries

We are excited to announce that Redmond will be hosting a Basic Income March event this year! This has been a big year for Basic Income and we are ready to celebrate! Join in on the celebration by RSVP'ing to our event. https://t.co/CKs0bnbeGJ #UBI #BasicIncome

[Yes! on 118 (Oregon Rebate) @OregonRebate]

It’s been 2 weeks since we kicked off #OPR2022 and got our first signature! Since then, we’ve had teams kick off in Portland, Corvallis, Roseburg, & Eugene with Salem on the way! Get involved today at https://t.co/m1rQBszqcQ

[Yes! on 118 (Oregon Rebate) @OregonRebate]

People are starting to realize that direct cash payments are a good thing for themselves, their families, and their communities. If you are an Oregon voter, please request a signature sheet to get our initiative on the ballot! #peoplesrebate #oregonUBI https://t.co/hVURgL1359

[Antonio Gisbert @agisbertphd]

@PattySherin @OPR2022 Thank you @PattySherin

[Yes! on 118 (Oregon Rebate) @OregonRebate]

Sending out signature sheets each week, we buy a lot of stamps – and they're $55 per roll! Can you pitch in today and help us buy more stamps? https://t.co/PixlVc383h

@RickiRuizOR Use a local ballot initiative and maybe index to local median income?

@cruciverberella It’s a bit like asking the butcher to be more kind, no?

[Antonio Gisbert @agisbertphd]

@cruciverberella We use the admittedly somewhat awkward but perhaps more accurate label of “people who do”
