Earlier today, One Fair Wage and the Tax the Ultra-Rich Now (TURN) bus tour hosted Berkeley City Councilmember Cecilia Lunaparra, organizers with Bay Rising and SEIU-UHW, and UC Berkeley students for an on-campus organizing event. Joined by Councilmember Lunaparra, TURN campaign manager Igor Volsky, SEIU-UHW member leader Lala Gonzalez and political organizer Joi Williams, and students from across campus rallying for Prop 40, speakers highlighted why young Californians voters are mobilizing in support of the billionaire wealth tax this November.

The tour brings together advocates, policymakers, and voters in support of Props 40 and 3, building political momentum toward a national conversation about billionaire power. The tour is supported by a host of partners across California, including United Healthcare Workers West (UHW), People’s Action, One Fair Wage, and Courage California.

TURN (Tax the Ultra-Rich Now) is a coalition of working families, health care workers, educators, and everyday Californians fighting to shrink the power billionaires hold over our economy, our democracy, and our future. Taxation is our tool: It funds our schools, health care, and communities while cutting excessive wealth down to size so the rest of us can thrive.
