JUST 2 DAYS LEFT - HELP REPEAL THE DEATH TAX
An Urgent Plea for Your Help
from Mimi Willard
CO$T's President
Please help! I need YOUR signature immediately on a petition to put on the CA ballot a measure to Repeal the Death Tax (Prop. 19). The last day for signature gathering in Marin is this Sunday, April 24. It's going to be a very close call as to whether there will be enough signatures to qualify the Repeal the Death Tax citizen initiative for the statewide ballot.

Please Sign ASAP!

Sign the Petition at these Locations:
46 Alta Way, Corte Madera
235 Montura Way, Novato
109 Ryan Ave, Mill Valley
412 Forbes Ave, San Rafael
31 Carroll Ct, San Rafael (call ahead - 415-336-7078)

Petitions will be on a table by the front door of these homes.

To get blank petitions so you can collect signatures:

Why You Should Act: In November 2020, voters were tricked into approving Prop. 19 by a slim margin. Prop 19 removed vital taxpayer protections: It substantially raises the property taxes of children inheriting California homes. In many instances this forces the sale of the home (as was intended by the realtor lobby that was the main force behind prop 19). This is upending families' futures together and their financial security. It's important that you help reverse Prop 19 because:

  • Parents should be able to transfer property to their children WITHOUT triggering reassessment and a HUGE TAX INCREASE.
  • Misleading statements TRICKED VOTERS INTO REMOVING that protection from state law when they passed Prop. 19 in November 2020.
  • The Repeal the Death Tax initiative will RESTORE this important taxpayer protection for California families.
  • FAMILIES benefit because the death of a parent won’t trigger an UNAFFORDABLE TAX HIKE. This is also an EQUITY issue, destabilizing minority neighborhoods. Nearly 1/3 of all Black homes sold are bought by corporate investors.
  • RENTERS benefit: This measure stops sudden reassessment of family-owned apartment buildings (rents & evictions rise)
