Press Release: 10/3/2025
Corporate Fair Share Hearing at the State House
The Trump administration is taking away healthcare from working families and seniors so they can put more money into the pockets of billionaires and big corporations. Here in Massachusetts, we could lose as much as $3.5 billion in federal aid that pays for health care, education, and food access for hundreds of thousands of people. We simply can’t afford the harm that will cause.
That's why we're supporting Raise Up Massachusetts's Corporate Fair Share campaign. The Corporate Fair Share bill would raise critical new revenue by requiring large multinational corporations like Amazon and Walmart to pay our existing corporate tax rate on more of the profits they hide overseas.
The bill has a hearing tomorrow at the State House at 10 am in Gardner Auditorium and a press event at 9:30 am right before. Can you join us?
Date: Friday, October 3, 2025 @ 9:15 AM (Action); 10 AM (Hearing)
Location: Massachusetts State House: Room 222 (Action); Gardner Auditorium (Hearing)

CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE STATE HOUSE? THERE'S MORE YOU CAN DO.
(1) Attend a Town Hall: Raise Up Mass coalition is holding a series of regional Protect Our Care Town Halls across the state to tell our legislators: it’s time to make big corporations pay their fair share in taxes—and stop the cuts. Chances are we’re holding one near you!
(2) Email your state legislators: Whether they have co-sponsored or not, they should be hearing from you about the need to take action.
(3) Submit testimony: Let the Joint Revenue Committee know why this is important to you with this testimony template courtesy of Raise Up Mass.
In solidarity,
