Fulton County residential homeowners are facing skyrocketing property tax bills. That's why 2018 tax assessments resulted in 37,000 residential tax appeals. The Atlanta Falcons pay NO TAXES on their long term lease of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium thereby skirting $26 million per year in taxes at the expense of residential homeowners - short changing the public school system by 50% of that amount, $13 million per year. Call or send Fulton County Commission Chairman, Rob Pitts, an email. Call him at 404-612-8200 or email him at [email protected].

Money has already been taxed from paycheck, should not be taxed again in Social Security check. That's double taxation, which is illegal!!!!!

Parking lot attendants at Impark in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania earn as little as $8.16 an hour and must pay for their health care out of their meager wages or go without. Nearly all of the parking attendants at Impark work two or more jobs and many immigrated from African countries to find the American Dream, only to be stuck working grueling jobs for poverty wages. At a time when immigrants are under unprecedented attack, African immigrant parking attendants are standing up for their rights and demanding better. Yet the more they raise their voices, the more Impark cracks down. Surafel, a husband and father of two young children came to the United States from Ethiopia for a better life. After encouraging his co-workers to sign a petition for the union, Sarafel was abruptly fired. Now Sarafel lost his job, and his ability to care for his family, simply for speaking up for his rights. Stand up for immigrant workers like Surafel. Tell Impark to respect the law and rehire the fired parking workers.

To prevent the Church from opening a worship service on the ground floor of 344 Main Street in Downtown Salinas. It is against the City code for a church to be on the ground floor of a retail building on Main Street and we want the City of Salinas to deny the application for a CUP (Conditional Use Permit) for a church on the ground floor, as it is detrimental to the other businesses in Downtown Salinas.

AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson made a promise to invest in his workforce and create at least 7,000 jobs if the tax bill passed. Well, the bill did pass, and AT&T received a $20 billion windfall. But instead of creating jobs, AT&T has laid off over a thousand workers across the country in the past few months. And the company keeps sending work to low-wage and overseas contractors, devastating families and communities across America. AT&T workers are fighting back. CWA members at AT&T Midwest and AT&T’s national Legacy T division are fighting for fair union contracts and have voted to strike if necessary to secure a deal that guarantees good jobs, affordable healthcare, and a secure retirement.
