Protect Local Schools Without Raising Taxes
Yes on Proposition 3
Prop 3 keeps the current tax rates on the wealthiest top 2% with strict accountability to ensure every dollar gets to classrooms, not Sacramento politicians.
About Prop 3
Fourteen years ago, California voters approved an income tax increase on the wealthiest 2% to provide needed funding for our public schools.
Proposition 3 extends this policy, with strict accountability to make sure the funding goes to local schools and community colleges, not to the politicians in Sacramento.

Vote Yes on Proposition 3
Proposition 3 is NOT a Tax Increase
Prop 3 maintains the income tax rates that the wealthiest Californians have paid for the past 14 years. If those tax rates are allowed to expire, it would give millionaires and billionaires a massive tax cut at the expense of our classrooms, clinics and communities.
Proposition 3 Stops Billions of Dollars in Cuts to Schools
Without Proposition 3, California’s eight million public school and community college students will face billions in cuts every year, including teacher layoffs, overcrowded classrooms, and bigger class sizes.
Proposition 3 Includes Strict Accountability
Prop 3 includes strict accountability to guarantee the money reaches the classroom. Funds go directly to local schools and community colleges. The politicians in Sacramento cannot touch it, redirect it, or spend a single dollar on bureaucracy or administrative overhead.
Proposition 3 Frees Up Billions for Medi-Cal for Children, Seniors and Families.
Without Proposition 3, families could lose access to preventive healthcare and affordable prescription drugs, and the Medi-Cal coverage that millions of Californians rely on could be put at risk.

Endorsement: Billionaire tax is getting the attention. But Prop 3 will decide California’s future
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - California’s one-time billionaire tax is getting all the press this election cycle. But there’s another proposed tax on the wealthy this November whose fate is far more essential to the state’s finances: Proposition 3.
The measure doesn’t create a new tax or change existing ones. Instead, it cements high income tax rates on California’s biggest earners.
