Tax policy isn’t race neutral. In fact, the history of its development shows us how it has been used explicitly as a tool for discriminating against people of color. Tax policy has been a powerful tool for shaping our country’s political, social, and economic landscape and has contributed to further consolidation of wealth and power into the hands of a small, predominantly white, group of people in the United States. But tax policy can also be wielded to undo those harms, right past wrongs, and build a more equitable future. It can be a tool for creating a true and healthy democracy.
The Colorado Fiscal Institute invites you to join them for a zoom webinar to understand the history and reasons behind why racism is at the root of tax policy, and how we can change the tax code to create a system that builds a more equitable future.
The webinars are being hosted in February 2021, March 2021, and April 2021. For more information and to register, visit their website:
