We're at today's DC Council meeting, where lawmakers will discuss revenue-raising proposals. This hearing is a culmination of years of advocacy urging lawmakers to think long-term about how to raise revenue equitably.

We all contribute to the strength of DC’s economy but only a few households see the most benefits. Lawmakers should make the wealthy pay more so we can all have our basic needs met.

DC Council can raise needed revenue by taxing the District’s concentration of wealth and closing a loophole that allows certain businesses whose owners live outside of DC to avoid paying taxes.

Contrary to claims that DC’s tax and spending is “out of control,” the revenue DC has collected for the Local Fund Budget as a share of the economy has been steady over time. Not accounting for inflation produces an exaggerated picture of budget growth. dcfpi.org/all/dcs-local-reve…

DC’s Local Revenue and Spending Has Been Steady Over the Past 25 Years, As A Share of the Economy |...

At a time where many have lost their jobs and are experiencing economic hardship, lawmakers should shore up economic supports rather than slash them.

DC’s inadequate revenue growth is due to major changes to the economy, including major strain from federal policies. The Trump admin’s mass layoffs have caused a man-made recession for DC & remote work has driven a steep decline in commercial property values & tax collections

If lawmakers fail to raise revenue now, thousands of residents will lose access to critical services and programs, exacerbating poverty and racial disparities. dcfpi.org/all/dc-lawmakers-m…

DC lawmakers need to address inadequate revenue growth, a trend that is unlikely to change given structural changes to DC’s economy.

After-tax income inequality reached its widest point in at least 17 years. The 2025 reconciliation law didn't help, leaving 9 million children out of the full Child Tax Credit while expanding tax cuts that favor wealthier households. @smhingtgen explains: cbpp.org/blog/analyzing-the-…

Thank you for showing up strongly to oppose HR 9720, which would be a major incursion on DC’s right to self-govern. This bill is the third attack on DC’s ability to budget in less than two years, and it is another attempt to destabilize DC.

This bill is so smart and exciting. DC with a land value tax could make our city so much more vibrant and equitable!
Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhleJul 24
Replying to @maustermuhle
A second proposed change would be more notable for homeowners: It would allow D.C. to consider moving to a land-value tax (where property taxes are based only on value of land, not land and building) or a split-rate system (where land and buildings are taxed at different rates.

Corporations and billionaires are choosing profits over democracy. This push from Doordash is just the latest overstep. Join us in the fight to protect our city from outside influences who are attempting to shape our local tax code: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Today is the 2nd budget vote. We're here to raise our voices and remind council that DC deserves an economy & a safety net that supports us in uncertain times. We know that wealth exists in DC, & if we raised revenue we could cover the programs that our city deserves.

Hi from the Wilson building 👋🏼 Today we gathered with friends and partners to remind the DC council that housing is a human right, and they need to fund it! We need to invest in our communities, and make sure that the #FY27 budget allocates the funds we need for housing services
