Federal Tax Policy

The tax code fails to raise adequate revenues, disproportionately benefits the wealthy and big corporations, and gives short shrift to tax provisions proven to increase racial, gender, and economic equity. NWLC is working to harness the tax code’s full potential so it reflects a society that is rooted in gender and racial equity.
