Advancing Racial Equity With State Tax Policy
November 15, 2018
States and localities could do more to help undo the harmful legacies of past racism and the damage caused by continuing racial bias and discrimination.
State and local governments provide most funding for K-12 education, public colleges and universities, health care, transportation, public safety, and other services.
They finance these services mainly through income and sales taxes and fees. We analyze budget and tax policies and work with state officials and state-based nonprofits to develop policies that address the needs of low-income families.
