We support the Washington Legislature's proposals to invest in K-12 education through progressive revenue.
We say, "Thanks For The Dough!"
The #ThanksForTheDough campaign is a way for parents, students, educators, and community members to voice our support and gratitude for the proposals and our wealthiest neighbors and businesses who will be funding our public schools if these new taxes are adopted.
The new tax proposals on the ultra-wealthy and large corporations (such as on folks who have more than $50 million in financial assets) could generate billions of dollars per year of additional resources for our schools. (Read more about the proposals from WSPTA).
We believe a campaign with positive framing could help our advocacy become more compelling, engaging, and effective. Supporting new taxes is not always popular and some wealthy corporations have already campaigned against any new taxes.
We believe expressing gratitude and showing the positive outcomes could help everyone feel valued and motivated to support these revenue proposals!
