Corporations should pay their fair share in taxes.

But every year, many large businesses are using complicated schemes to shift money earned in the U.S. to offshore tax havens to reduce how much they owe by billions of dollars.

The result? These large corporations aren’t paying their fair share, avoiding taxes their smaller competitors have to pay.

But states don’t have to wait on Washington to fix these problems. By closing loopholes at the state level, states can even the playing field and also recover billions of dollars for critical services.

Our laws should protect us, not the data dealers

Take action to support our protections that keep Wall Street in check. 

Tell your governor: It's fair to repair

If we own items, we should be able to fix them. We shouldn’t be forced into throwing away devices that could be fixed, refurbished or salvaged. And we should be able to take our stuff to any repair shop we want, including small, local businesses. It's key to a sustainable and fair economy. Join us in taking action to support fair repair.
