Fair Share Millionaire’s Tax
IT’S CRUNCH TIME! Raise Up Massachusetts’ 
campaign to gather signatures for the Fair Share Millionaire’s Tax is on! It’s an amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution that will ask Massachusetts families with incomes over $1 million a year to pay a little more to cover needed improvements to public transportation and education.
Collect signatures on Election Day, tomorrow, Nov. 3, in cities such as Boston, Cambridge, and Newton (not towns, which don’t have elections now). Contact the office at info@masspeaceaction.org or 617-354-2169 to get your petition forms and instructions. We have only 2 weeks to go and Mass. Peace Action needs YOUR help to meet our goal!
