Oregon Working Families Party
RALLY to Tell Gov. Kotek: HANDS OFF PRESCHOOL FOR ALL
Join our rally on Monday from 11:30-1:00 at the Convention Center, 777 NE MLK, to demand Preschool for All be rolled out as approved 2:1 by voters!
The governor just launched her re-election campaign by offering to gut our Preschool for All program to cater to billionaires like Tim Boyle, pretending that downtown’s woes are due to the PFA tax. It’s just the latest excuse for why the wealthy shouldn’t pay their fair share of taxes. They’re still spinning the “downtown doom loop” story, no matter how many times it’s been debunked.
Kotek is speaking at an Oregon Business Plan Summit on Monday, December 8Z. We need to turn out and show her and the anti-tax business lobby that we aren’t going to take it! They can’t undo behind closed doors what the voters overwhelmingly approved. Meet us at the Convention Center this Monday the 8th at 11:30am, and invite 4 friends to join you — this program could be gone if we don’t fight back.
We know the truth:
There are more and more wealthy people in Multnomah County every year
It’s the work-from-home revolution pulling down the value of downtown office buildings, not taxes
The legion of wealthy Californians are paying higher income taxes than anyone in Oregon
PFA has no “surplus” – we need all that money (and likely more) to expand to full universality
Universal preschool programs are FAR BETTER for the local economy than business tax cuts, and raise everyone’s incomes
We’ve beat back attacks before and we can do it again – together!
