Get the California Billionaire Tax on the ballot -- message from Bernie

Billionaires and corporate interests have too much power and influence in this country. As they hoard more and more wealth, our critical public infrastructure crumbles.

Only when the people come together can we fight back. Californians, NOW is the time to take action: sign the petition to tax the billionaires and save healthcare.

The Golden State is home to more than 200 billionaires who've profited off of taxpayer-funded resources while exploiting tax breaks like the ones passed in Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful Bill."

That same bill just gutted California's healthcare system to the tune of $100 billion – cuts that are already forcing hospitals and ERs to close their doors forever.

It's not too late to stop the healthcare collapse. All that's needed is for billionaires to finally pay their fair share. That's why thousands of Californians are coming together to support an emergency 5% tax on billionaires to keep hospitals and ERs open.

Billionaires and their allies are trying every dirty trick in the book to stop this tax from making it to your ballot in November. Don't let them win. Stop by a location near you and sign a petition today.

Your signature is urgently needed to help qualify the California Billionaire Tax Act for the ballot. There are locations all across the state where you can walk in and add your name in less than 2 minutes.

Don't miss your chance to fight back and prove the people still have power in this country. Learn where you can sign the petition TODAY to tax billionaires and save California's hospitals.
In solidarity,

Team Bernie
