A Just Harvest’s Northside P.O.W.E.R. is working in coalition with many groups from around the city to ensure that the “fiscal cliff” budget negotiations protect the economic safety net and middle class priorities like education and infrastructure. We believe that if the wealthy and large corporations paid their fair share of taxes, we could afford to preserve Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, food safety inspections and all the other many important government functions without increasing our deficit.
Northside P.O.W.E.R. leaders helped organized this Durbinville action on December 6, 2012 to call attention to the dire economic consequences we will face if sequestration cuts are implemented.
