We are calling upon the Illinois legislature to pass a progressive revenue package, including measures to:
Close corporate tax loopholes
Prevent corporate tax dodging through offshore accounts
A billionaire’s wealth tax
Digital ad tax
In total, the proposals could raise over $7 billion annually from billionaires and rich corporations.

IL Legislators: Make Mega-Corporations and the Ultra-Rich Pay What They Owe!
Oligarchic corporations and billionaires won’t pay their share of taxes, yet they profit and prop up Trump’s assaults on our communities.
Our elected representatives in the state capitol can take a stand. They can make the biggest corporations and billionaires pay what they owe to our communities, so we can have great schools, quality childcare and healthcare, and affordable homes. They can support state legislation that would make Big Tech pay taxes on the billions they make from digital ads, make billionaires pay for their untaxed wealth, and keep corporations from hiding profits and using loopholes to evade paying their fair share.
Let your state legislators know: corporations and billionaires must pay what they owe!
About PowerUp:
As Chicagoans, we look out for each other.
We work as teachers, nurses, daycare workers, service industry workers, volunteers taking care of our communities, picking up whistles when masked ICE agents threaten our neighbors.
But while we look out for each other, giant corporations and Epstein-class billionaires are getting obscenely rich off our work, our data, and our tax dollars and backing Trump’s regime, tearing our communities apart.
By coming together across our differences, we will make those corporations and billionaires pay what they owe and fund the resources our families and neighborhoods most need.
To do this, we need our elected leaders to stand with our communities instead of doing the bidding of corporations and billionaires.
