WHO WE ARE

UnRig California is a statewide coalition of labor unions, community organizations, faith leaders, and everyday Californians.

We are multi-year California state campaign to shift our tax code and our economy toward shared prosperity, requiring corporations to:

  • Pay what they owe in taxes (by closing loopholes written by corporate lobbyists) and;
  • Contribute to the cost of the safety net programs that workers rely on because of poverty wages and poor benefits.

We are the workers and the communities who keep this state running. For too long, we have watched multinational corporations use their wealth to write the rules in their favor: exploiting tax loopholes, squeezing our safety net, and driving up the cost of living for the rest of us.

We came together because we know that when workers and communities unite, we can beat organized greed.

We aren’t just fighting back against the Trump administration’s corporate giveaways; we are fighting forward to fix California’s broken systems. Our coalition is dedicated to closing the loopholes written by corporate lobbyists, holding low-road employers accountable, and building a tax code that rewards work, not wealth.

They have the Fortune 500. We have the people.
