@DanPriceSeattle Hello Dan, new friend here. I’m working on a ballot initiative in Oregon to tax the biggest corps 3% *after* $25M and rebate the new revenue to every Oregonian. About $750 per person per year. Reduces overall poverty by 15%, child poverty by 26%. How does this sound to you?

I miss seeing all my people here. Sending you all a hug.

Hey @potus & congress! Please pass the monthly #ChildTaxCredit

@CR_PDX are you all currently active? DM please!

@RBReich, good analysis, different proposed solution. @OPR2022 increases min taxes of the largest corps and uses cash rebates to increase the take-home pay of the typical Oregon household by about 4%. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Ten million children across the nation will slip into poverty because everyday people cannot count on an oil baron Senator from West Virginia to do the right thing. Fortunately for Oregonians, we have the initiative process: opr2022.org #PeoplesRebate #ChildTaxCredit

The expanded Child Tax Credit has been one of the single most important policies to reduce childhood poverty in a generation. Petitions are being delivered to Congress from constituents urging them to #ProtectTheCTC @SenSchumer @SenatorDurbin @RonWyden @SpeakerPelosi @RepJeffries

Awesome! basicincomemarch.com #UBI #BasicIncome #Redmond

It’s been 2 weeks since we kicked off #OPR2022 and got our first signature! Since then, we’ve had teams kick off in Portland, Corvallis, Roseburg, & Eugene with Salem on the way! Get involved today at OPR2022.org

People are starting to realize that direct cash payments are a good thing for themselves, their families, and their communities. If you are an Oregon voter, please request a signature sheet to get our initiative on the ballot! #peoplesrebate #oregonUBI oregoncapitalinsider.com/news/oregon-co…

@PattySherin @OPR2022 Thank you @PattySherin

I'm helping raise money for @OPR2022 Anything you could contribute would help us out even if it's just $7.50. Thank you! opr2022.org/en/donate/ #YangGang #PeoplesRebate #HumanityFirst #UBI

Sending out signature sheets each week, we buy a lot of stamps – and they're $55 per roll! Can you pitch in today and help us buy more stamps? opr2022.org/donate/

So absolutely exciting to see these results. BASIC INCOME WORKS!!!!

@RickiRuizOR Use a local ballot initiative and maybe index to local median income?

In Oregon, being in a school board pays ZERO dollars. The work that goes in serving is super important. I truly believe that there needs to be some sort of compensation for school board members. This is an equity issue that limits who runs & represents in these positions.

@cruciverberella It’s a bit like asking the butcher to be more kind, no?

@cruciverberella We use the admittedly somewhat awkward but perhaps more accurate label of “people who do”

@OPR2022 Pay for deferred expenses for our business

What would you do if everyone in your household had an extra yearly $750 revenue? Drop it in the comments below ⬇️
