Mayor Cherelle Parker has proposed a $1 rideshare tax to save 340 public education jobs that will otherwise be cut. Amid a nationwide educator staffing shortage, we cannot allow even deeper cuts to classrooms.
The rideshare tax is a targeted investment in nearly 198,000 Philadelphia public school students. The multibillion-dollar California-based tech companies that operate Uber and Lyft can easily absorb the $1 tax, so riders don't have to.
Join us in asking City Council to stand up to the tech companies and pass the $1 rideshare tax for Philly public school students! Download and share these flyers with your school communities and neighbors. It takes less than one minute to send an email to your district and at-large Council members.
