DSA members can help pass the largest tax increase in history on California’s wealthiest commercial property owners, raising $10-12 billion per year for public education and social services. With the Movement for Black Lives uprising deepening into the call for defunding the police, it will be necessary to expand revenues required to build alternative, sustainable public services and practices. Progressive taxation is an essential path to that goal. Prop 15 is backed by labor and opposed by the most reactionary sectors of capital.

This three-part education series has provided background for DSA’s participation in the campaign. But you don’t have to have attended Parts I and II to attend this event!
