Tax the Rich representative Kimmy Cook comes to Making Worlds on April 28 from 5:30-6:30. Students from West Chester University’s “Transformative Education and Social Change” program will be in attendance as well as community members.
Kimmy Cook is on the Revenue For a Just Recovery plan. This is a reparative and restorative approach to funding city services that we will learn more about throughout the session.
Tax the Rich PHL is a campaign led by librarians, educators, parents, public workers, retirees, organizers and concerned residents, who believe that Philadelphia deserves fully-funded robust public services, paid for by the corporations, billionaires and institutions who have dodged paying their fair share for decades.
This campaign was born during the COVID pandemic crisis, which highlighted the structural instability of our city’s budget and the need for strong city services that protect all Philadelphians. Tax the Rich PHL brings together long-term campaigns to fund robust city services and hold billionaires, corporations and large non-profit institutions accountable to pay their fair share.
