Make Wall Street corporations and the 1% pay:

Imagine working Americans, seniors, and poor families who are all living through record inequality having the billions of dollars in public investment that's made it possible for them to stay afloat yanked out from under them. 

Our families and future are at stake when Congress returns to Washington in November. They face a sobering decision: Who should pay for investments in our country’s future – wealthy Americans and big corporations or the rest of us?

Either Congress and the President will ensure that corporations and the richest 2% pay their fair share or the rest of us will pick up their tab and face devastating cuts. It's tax breaks and kick backs for the richest 2% and Wall Street corporations versus investments in our health, retirement security, education, jobs and infrastructure. 

We're taking action - starting next week - right after the election no matter who wins. We're taking this message to our senators and representatives: if you want to get our economy back on track we need to focus on additional investments in jobs and services that rebuild our economy.  National People's Action and allies are organizing over 25 actions in cities accross the country.  To be successful, we need you to be a part of the fight. 

If there isn't one near you, organize it and let us know about using the form below. All it takes is a few friends to go visit your Congressional representatives. Take this Fair Deal pledge to their office, and tell them to stand with us and make the richest 2% and Wall Street corporations pay!
