Check our events calendar and join our canvasses to get the word out to Chicago’s communities to pressure our aldermen to support the Corporate Head Tax.

If the tax had remained in place, our city would have gained more than $50 million to fund schools, parks, libraries, and safe streets.

Chicago had a corporate head tax for years, and ending it shifted the cost onto regular residents. Bringing it back would apply only to the largest 3 percent of companies, not small businesses.

Working people shouldn’t face higher property taxes or grocery fees while wealthy corporations get tax breaks. Companies like Amazon and JP Morgan Chase rely on Chicago’s workforce and services, and they can afford to pay more.
