The Nuns on the Bus are on the road again— for the first time in two years — to hold members of Congress accountable for their votes on the 2017 Tax Law and the many attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Who we elect matters. The Nuns on the Bus: the Tax Justice Truth Tour is traveling from California to Mar-a-Lago ahead of the 2018 midterms to focus on reasonable revenue for responsible programs. The tour will include 54 events in 21 states over the course of 27 days … and kicks off on Monday, October 8 with a Town Hall for Justice here at All Saints Church.
We are honored to be the venue for the launch of this tour traveling to congressional districts where the incumbent chose to support the deceitfully named the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017”.
“Last year, Nuns on the Bus stayed in Washington to keep relentless congressional attacks on the common good at bay, but this year we’re going on the road to hold members accountable for their votes,” said Sister Simone Campbell, SSS, Executive Director of NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice and Leader of Nuns on the Bus. “When Congress passed this hyper-partisan tax plan into law last fall, we knew it was rooted in the fallacy of trickle-down economics. Now, we’ve seen the results of structuring tax policy to favor the biggest corporations and the wealthiest individuals in our nation. That’s why Nuns on the Bus are going on the road to Mar-a-Lago to expose the lies of this devastating tax law.”
“As we travel from coast to coast, we will focus on the cuts to essential services that are consequences of the tax law, which promotes the perpetuation of an unequal, exclusionary distribution of economic benefit,” said NETWORK Grassroots Mobilization Specialist Sister Mary Ellen Lacy, DC. “Our nation was founded not in policies that benefit the few, but on the principle of the common good. This is the vision that we need to recover, to reaffirm that our lawmakers must enact policies that invest in our shared future, not ones that threaten our communities and our families. Educating the American people about this law is the way we can move forward in these turbulent times.”
