New Property Tax (ACA-1) Proposed for 9 Bay Area Counties

Please help us stop ACA-1 by contacting your local elected officials.

Please help us stop ACA-1 by contacting your local elected officials. This ballot measure is being proposed for the entire 9 County Bay Area and will cost each property owner about $190 per year for each million dollar in assessed value (can go to as high as $342 per million). While the stated intent is to solve the homeless crisis, historic spending has not improved this situation. Please ask your elected official to vote no on ACA-1 and give them good reasons to vote no. For example, past spending has failed to resolve this crisis, and here is an article on this very issue:
