On Thursday, the Oakland City Council Rules & Legislation Committee meeting discussed placing an Equitable and Progressive Business Tax on the November ballot. Nearly 30 supporters of the Invest In Our Oakland initiative provided public comment to show the overwhelming support from workers, faith leaders, small businesses and our community that now is the time to place an Equitable and Progressive Business Tax on the ballot.
Join us in support of small businesses and protecting essential city services by providing public comment at the next Rules & Legislation Committee meeting on April 28 at 10:30am.
On Saturday at Eastshore Park the Invest In Our Oakland coalition hosted a rally and volunteer signature gathering event. Over 45 volunteers went out into the community to speak with neighbors, friends and supporters about the Invest In Our Oakland citizen initiative.
We need to act now to support small businesses while providing resources for essential city services that our kids, our neighbors and our communities rely on.
We look forward to you joining us and testifying at the April 28 Rules & Legislation Committee in support of Investing in our Oakland.
Invest In Our Oakland is a coalition of community members, workers, small business owners, and faith leaders. Join us at https://investinouroakland.com/
