We won!!!
Just six months after the Trump-Proof Seattle Coalition began our campaign for tax justice, the Seattle City Council unanimously approved a 2.25% tax on income in excess of $250,000 ($500K for joint filers), to protect against Trump budget cuts and fund vital public services.
Our grassroots campaign has made waves around the country. The right-wing Freedom Foundation, sensing a threat to the entrenched privilege of the very wealthy, has promised to sue. We say bring it on. When we organize, we win!
You’re invited to celebrate this victory with us. There will be food, drink, speeches, music, a photo booth, and great company. Southside Commons is wheelchair accessible, and there’s a beautiful park right outside. See you there! (You can RSVP and share the invitation on Facebook.)

Go ahead and celebrate now. I wonder if you will still be celebrating when this tax is expanded to include all of you. If you think it will not then you are a fool. I wonder does this tax apply to those who live in Seattle and does it apply to people like me who work in Seattle but live outside the city. Thank God I live in Des Moines.
