DEFENDING PUBLIC EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE & OTHER VITAL SERVICES BY REFORMING CALIFORNIA'S BROKEN FISCAL SYSTEM
California is in a cycle of financial crisis that creates a cycle of crisis in neighborhoods across the state. If we don't change we face a disastrous collapse in education, public services and infrastructure, sacrificing the very investments that made California so successful and that working families rely on for their path to self sufficiency.
There is another way. Instead of bankrupting our state, our elected officials could give California a brighter future by fixing California's broken fiscal system through:
- Asking those in the highest income brackets to contribute more in taxes
- Demanding that corporations pay their fair share of property taxes
- And closing the loopholes that let big corporations off the hook, putting a greater burden on the rest of us.
That's why ACCE is organizing families most impacted by the crisis to help lead a multi-year effort to achieve real reform. Our strategy is to think about long-term goals and start early; understand the statewide challenges, but go local and go deep, with common-sense policy objectives that have broad appeal. We will demonstrate that the state has great needs that can't be met by current resources, and show that the failure to reform harms our economic future.
ACCE is building alliances with civic, labor, religious, business and policy partners that will translate into the campaign infrastructure needed to win progressive tax, budget and policy reform for California communities. One important piece of this work is with the California Alliance, a coalition of grassroots organizations engaging in a multi-year campaign that will move 500,000 targeted voters in eight regions to become consistent voters in support of progressive tax and fiscal reform. ACCE is involved in this coalition effort in four regions of the state, and expects to contribute some 60,000 supportive voters in 2010 alone.
