Kansas City and St. Louis decisively win E-Tax victories

You did it. You and hundreds of activists, working around the state, won a resounding victory. Yesterday, voters retained the earnings taxes in Kansas City by 82.64% and St. Louis by 87.5%.

Working with our allies, we stopped those who want to starve local government of the necessary resources to maintain our state’s two largest cities.

JwJ activists knocked on doors, called their neighbors, rallied, and educated their fellow voters at polling places for the November statewide and April elections. Hundreds of us were glad to stand alongside ally organizations- labor unions, neighborhood associations, congregations, elected officials, and ward organizations- in a grassroots alliance that triumphed in an anti-tax political climate.

Together, we will continue to fight to win.
