The Occupy Wall Street movement has sparked debate about the state of the economy around the nation.  Here are three of the most important action items identified by the Strong Economy for All coalition.  Please contact your elected representatives and ask that they call for the following:

Stop The Tax Cut for Millonaires (#Dec31)

New York politicians have approved a $5 billion tax cut for the richest people in our state – most of it will to millionaires and billionaires.

But it won’t happen until December 31: there’s still time to stop the tax cut and use the money to create jobs and restore the worst of the budget cuts.

Create Real Jobs Now (#JobsCrisis)

The biggest need in our communities is jobs – real jobs, right now.

Millionaires don’t need their tax cut, but the money could be invested in infrastructure, transit, energy efficient retrofits and conservation projects to create hundreds of thousands of jobs we do need.

Restore The Budget Cuts (#NYCutsHurt)

After Wall Street destroyed the economy, state and city politicians cut schools, human services, higher education and transportation funding to the bone.

New York budget cuts hurt students, seniors, people who are poor, disabled or homeless have been hit bad. And the budget cuts have led directly to the loss of over 10,000 public sector jobs and thousands more at non-profits and local businesses.

If we stop the tax cut for the rich, we can restore the worst of the cuts.
