The MT campaign promotes progressive agenda w/o relying on politicians
8. The campaign for the Millionaires tax will strengthen labor-community coalitions to promote a progressive agenda while building a movement for future reforms –WITHOUT RELYING ON POLITICIANS. We should not have to tie the future of California’s education system and other public services to the political calculations of Jerry Brown. Many in the progressive community supported Brown’s efforts to win over a handful of Republicans to vote for a very reasonable extension of then currently existing regressive taxes last year. He failed and schools and public services were cut yet again. We should not take that risk again this time. The price is too steep.
