OUR TAXES, OUR NEEDS
On May 15, 2024, The Our Taxes, Our Needs-Palm Beach County campaign filed litigation against the Comptroller of Palm Beach County for investing 700 million dollars of local constituents’ property taxes into war bonds that fuel human rights violations in the Middle East.
This investment is a violation of Florida statutes governing public officials’ investments made with taxpayer dollars.
It’s time to divest.
Our Taxes, Our Needs-Palm Beach County is demanding that local funds are divested from human rights violations and reinvested in local needs determined by Palm Beach County residents.
We demand divestment from death and displacement in the Global South and reinvestment in local community policies that will build the stability and people-power of Palm Beach County residents.
