Good afternoon, this is Elle, the research coordinator for Schools & Communities First!

Last week, a report was released by the University of Southern California Dornsife Program for Environmental and Regional Equity, which showed that Schools & Communities First would have a positive impact in every county and every region of California. [Click here to see how much your county can reclaim if we pass Schools & Communities First!]



Our opponents can try and spread misinformation about our campaign on social media, but the facts in this report speak for themselves...

If Schools & Communities First passes in November, Californians could reclaim over $12 billion a year for our schools and local communities in every one of our counties.

USC's report also shows that Schools & Communities First ensures big corporations and wealthy investors pay their fair share. 78% of the funding reclaimed for our schools and vital local services would come from just 6% of commercial and industrial properties.



If we pass Schools & Communities First, Californians from the North Coast, to the Imperial Valley, to the High Sierras, from small towns to big cities, and everywhere in between will ALL benefit.

Will you read and share the report?



This positive change for California is only possible with your help!

Will you help Schools & Communities First get on the ballot by donating or volunteering?





Let's get this campaign passed to help Californians in EVERY part of the state!

The Schools & Communities First initiative reclaims $12 billion every year for California’s schools and local communities by closing commercial property tax loopholes benefiting a fraction of corporations and wealthy investors. The initiative benefits residents and small businesses by exempting homeowners and renters from any changes while implementing new tax relief for small businesses.
