Vigils at 22 congressional district offices to convince 24 Congresspersons across America to demand that congress pass the Robin Hood Tax on Wall Street - the only real cure to the illness of rampant economic inequality. There will also be a memorial vigil in Detroit.
H.R. 1579, the Inclusive Prosperity Act sponsored by Rep. Keith Ellison, is a tiny .5% and less tax on Wall Street trades. The Robin Hood on Wall Street Tax would raise $350 billion dollars a year to:
• Create millions of permanent living wage jobs
• Rebuild our nation’s infrastructure,
• Creating a green energy manufacturing boom,
• Provide quality education for all of our children,
• Expand mass transit,
• Guarantee healthcare for all,
• Serve many other human and environmental needs, and
• Provide Americans with retirement and housing security
All of that would go a long way toward healing America’s obscene wealth and income inequality while honoring the struggle that Dr. King gave his life for.
