Last spring, Tax the Rich PHL and Councilmember Kendra Brooks launched their campaign for the Philly Wealth Tax. On Wednesday, 9/21 at 1PM, join us to show support for the Philly Wealth Tax at our (in-person) City Council hearing!

The Philly Wealth Tax would generate vital funding (over $200 million per year) that could be invested in helping the most vulnerable Philadelphians recover fully from the pandemic and from decades of city disinvestment. The Wealth Tax would help close the racial wealth gap and bring needed resources to Black and Brown neighborhoods. 

Throughout the pandemic, billionaires and ultrarich increased their wealth by nearly 60% -- while working class communities, and particularly Black and Brown communities, suffered. The Philly Wealth Tax would require those who have the most to pay what they owe -- with the top 5% wealthiest Philadelphians generating 70% of the revenue. 

Join us in-person to pack City Council on Wednesday, September 21st at 1PM and demand a Philly Wealth Tax!
