Goals

Spread the word about the #TaxTheRich #InvestInOurNY campaign. April 1st is when the budget is decided in NY State. We want to saturate Twitter and Instagram from now until then.

Influence important legislators who haven’t totally committed to the campaign, primarily the Senate and Assembly leaders.
Get the media to pay attention.
Educate those who don’t know enough about it
