Economic Democracy Weekly

Yesterday was Tax Day, so in today’s Economic Democracy Weekly, we feature all three articles from a three-part series, Quiet Violence: How the Tax System Works Against Black Americans, coproduced by The Maven Collaborative and NPQ. First, Anne Price outlines how fees and unequal enforcement create an unequal taxation playing field. Next, Rhiana Gunn-Wright examines how environmental justice acts as an indirect tax disproportionately affecting Black American families. Then, Jhumpa Bhattacharya closes out the series by offering a vision for tax justice. Lastly, Rudy Espinoza of Inclusive Action for the City discusses why his nonprofit joined a lawsuit that seeks to enjoin the Internal Revenue Service from sharing taxpayer data with the US Department of Homeland Security to target immigrants for deportation.
