On Thursday, November 3rd, the Chinese Progressive Association will participate in a national day of action with nurses, students, community groups, and the Occupy SF movement to call for a Wall Street Financial Transaction Tax (FTT). Actions will occur in San Francisco and Washington DC, as leaders of the G-20 nations meet in France to decide global economic policies that will impact our communities. As the richest 1% and corporations continue to reap the benefits of an unfair economic system that gives them 43% of our nation’s wealth, the 99% are demanding that Wall Street pay its fair share. A Wall Street Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) can raise up to $350 billion per year in the U.S. to provide living wage jobs, guaranteed healthcare, a secure retirement for all, quality public education, good housing and protection from hunger.
