2024 In: -billions of dollars for public education and transportation -free school lunches -fare-free public transit -tuition-free public college -4% tax on income over $1 million a year Out: -upside down tax systems that only benefit the ultra-rich
Massachusetts voted Yes on Question 1 in 2022, creating an additional tax of 4% for income over $1 million, in addition to the existing 5% flat-rate income tax, and dedicate revenue to education and transportation purposes. Yes - 1,232,662 - 52% No - 1,137,642 - 48%
I wrote about the inspiring @FairShareMA campaign. A broad labor-community coalition won a ballot measure to tax the rich and fund public services! jacobin.com/2022/11/massac…
Unions, teachers, health care workers, and people across Massachusetts came together to take on a tough fight. And now millionaires will pay a fair share to fund roads, bridges, transit, and public education. Woo-hoo, @FairShareMA! masslive.com/politics/2022/…
At the @FairShareMA victory press conference, and it is impressive to think that this victory was 100-years in the making. We have had a constitutional flat tax for > 100 years. There have been five past times to change that, and each failed. But we finally won. #mapoli

Polls close in 3 hours, at 8pm!! There is still time to vote #YesOn1 and #YesOn4!!!! Tell your neighbors! Tell your friends! Let’s GOTV MA!! @FairShareMA @yesonfourma
Grateful for all the incredible people who have fought so hard for so long on @FairShareMA & @yesonfourma. Our communities are worthy of deep investments in public education & infrastructure. And our roads are safer when immigrants don’t have to live in fear. We all win.

If anyone wants to make an Election Day impact, my personal favorite GOTV activity is phone-banking. Best way to calm pre-results nerves and know you're making an impact turning out every last vote. Phonebank for @FairShareMA this afternoon: mobilize.us/fairshareamend…
I gotta say it felt amazing to vote for @FairShareMA this morning. It doesn't get more concrete and tangible than this! The super wealthy pay a little more, and public transportation and education systems get better! Please Vote Yes on 1!
Since you all seem to like flowcharts, here’s one more before the polls close. If anyone you know hasn’t voted yet, send them this guide to voting YES on 1.

For the first time in years, the start of the new year didn’t bring wage increases for Massachusetts workers who are most impacted by rising costs of living. $15/hour is not enough to afford basic needs in our state! #TimeFor20
Massachusetts voted Yes on Question 1 in 2022, creating an additional tax of 4% for income over $1 million, in addition to the existing 5% flat-rate income tax, and dedicate revenue to education and transportation purposes. Yes - 1,232,662 - 52% No - 1,137,642 - 48%
Another huge benefit from winning the Fair Share Amendment! #TaxTheRich
Today, the Fair Share Amendment is making it easier to go to college. If you’re eligible for a Pell Grant, you now also qualify for tuition- and fee-free education at a MA community college, public university, or UMass. One third of all UMass students qualify for free tuition.
Students eligible for federal financial aid who attend public colleges and state universities in Massachusetts will have their tuition, books, and supply costs paid for thanks to nearly $62 million in funding through the MASSGrant Plus Expansion program. trib.al/MxM0XCq
$62 million directly from money that the Fair Share Amendment raised!

each of these 62 million dollars are directly from money raised by the Fair Share Amendment, which voters passed last year!
The first public school was right here in Massachusetts. Living up to our legacy means we need to lead in access to education. From now on, low-income students can attend any of our public colleges or universities without worrying about tuition, fees, books, or supplies.
Everyone deserves an affordable, quality education. The Fair Share Amendment is making it possible—for 25,000 students in MA who’ll now be able to attend public college tuition-free, or see their out-of-pocket costs cut by up to half.
@MassGovernor @RonMariano @projectbread this money comes directly from @FairShareMA’s 4% tax on millionaires

Today, we’re launching Paid for by Fair Share — a statewide effort to show off a little, and highlight all the amazing things being funded by Fair Share across Massachusetts.
Happy first birthday to the Fair Share Amendment! One year ago, 1.2 MILLION people voted Yes on 1 to tax the very rich and fund education and transportation for all of us in MA. What do you say, should we do a little celebrating? Fairsharema.com
@RogerLau @maura_healey And thank you @FairShareMA for getting the $$$ to make universal free lunch happen!
@FairShareMA is paying off for education in MA! And it's 100% paid for by the state's richest 1%.
so true and @FairShareMA did that
The ultra-wealthy wouldn’t have their riches without the labor of working people. In Massachusetts, funds from a 4% millionaire tax are paying for free school lunch for all public school students. That's what the rich paying their fair share back to communities can look like.
Read more about the budget agreement and how Fair Share funds will be spent over the next year: nbcboston.com/news/local/mas… #mapoli
Going forward, we urge legislators to protect the Fair Share Amendment’s revenues from high-income tax avoidance, so that we can build on these investments and sustain the long-term improvements to transportation and education that voters demanded. #mapoli
