Benton County Democratic Central Committee

Friend,

You may know me from Invest in Washington Now, the group that helped more than 70,000 Washingtonians take action and pass the first-ever capital gains tax on Washington’s mega-millionaires and billionaires to fund child care and education.

Now, some mega-millionaires are desperate to repeal this tax with Initiative 2109 — and cut billions from education and childcare in the process. It’s selfish and short-sighted. They have no idea what it’s like to struggle to afford child care. They can afford full-time nannies. All they care about is having a lower tax bill at the end of the year.

We need an outpouring of grassroots support to make sure Washingtonians know what’s at stake. So I’m personally asking: Will you contribute now to help defeat I-2109 and protect our progress toward affordable child care and education in Washington?

The mega-millionaires trying to repeal the capital gains tax are in a losing battle. They’ve lost in the Washington Supreme Court and even the U.S. Supreme Court.

But they aren’t giving up. They see I-2109 as their path forward. They will spend millions on ads to deceive Washingtoninans into voting for something that will hurt working families.

If I-2109 passes, Washington will lose more than $5 billion in funding for child care and education over the next six years. And mega-millionaires will take it as a green light to keep manipulating our tax code, putting more burden on the rest of us.

Contribute to the No on 2109 campaign today, so we can stop mega-millionaires from taking away our progress and protect Washington’s investments in children and families.

Thanks for whatever you can give.

In solidarity,

Treasure Mackley
