Tax policy can be a powerful tool to advance gender and racial justice when it accurately reflects our values and creates room in state and federal budgets to make the investments we need and deserve to thrive. But when policies prioritize tax cuts for wealthy households and corporations or reinforce longstanding assumptions about the labor of women—especially that of women of color—it can impede progress toward gender and racial equity.

In collaboration with the State Revenue Alliance, NWLC examines how tax reforms can advance gender and racial justice, including by addressing caregiving needs, and how states can respond to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in ways that ensure that women and families have the resources they need to build a bright future.
