bookmark_borderProtest Budget Cuts

Posted on by admin

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Over the past decade, PA has given tax cuts to big corporations. This has drained resources from our schools, healthcare and communities while failing to produce good jobs. Loopholes do not work as incentives, yet PA is 1 of only 8 states that has not taken common sense steps to close loopholes.  Now, Gov. “Corporate” has proposed “reform” that is a big new tax break for profitable corporations. He is making loopholes bigger!

JOIN US this Thursday April 11th 10am as we travel to Harrisburg to protest this on a day of a budget hearing about these issues. We will depart from Fight For Philly at 10am & return by 4:30pm. Come with us, invite friends on Facebook or BOTH!  Just reply to this email to rsvp.
