Here's the backstory.
In December, the DC Council passed a law to unlink our local tax rates from federal tax rates. Many states do this and in DC's case, this change averted a nearly $700 million shortfall in revenues. DC leaders invested that money in the DC Earned Income Tax Credit and a DC Child Tax Credit, proven tools for tackling poverty, reducing racial inequities, and boosting inclusive economic growth.
Now, Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and Congressman Brandon Gill (R-TX) have introduced so-called "disapproval" resolutions that would overturn DC's local law. This move is anti-democratic, anti-family, would destabilize DC's finances, and it's wrong.
The Trump regime wants to destabilize DC to gain control of it and prevent a transfer of power like they tried to do on January 6. The people of DC don't have representatives in Congress, so we need your help. Tell your representatives to be in solidarity with DC, protect democracy, and VOTE NO on this and all attacks on DC communities.
