DIGITAL RALLY: Save Small Businesses!
Congress is considering an unprecedented action - instituting a massive retroactive tax increase on small businesses by repealing the Employee Retention Credit.
A Real Opportunity for Impact Through Advocacy
The House Ways and Means Committee is currently considering the repeal of the Employee Retention Credit - a tax credit that thousands of small businesses have submitted claims for.
A repeal now would be devastating for small businesses, leaving them in the dust!
TODAY, we are jumping online and tagging the Ways and Means Committee and some of its key members in an effort to influence their decision as they draft the spending bill. Twitter/X is especially important today, due to how active the targeted members are on the platform.
Support for small businesses is a very bipartisan issue. The opportunity for influence here is very real if we make a lot of noise!
(This online campaign is part of a much broader communication campaign that includes direct lobbying and phone calls. The social media action is an important piece of the puzzle - to show pressure is coming from all sides and that people are watching.)
The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) was meant to be a lifeline for small businesses during the pandemic, providing up to $26,000 per employee to keep them on payroll. Hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake in a potential repeal.
Imagine being forced to close your doors, lay off employees, and struggle to make ends meet - all because of a broken promise from our government. That's the reality facing small business owners if the ERC is repealed. It's not just about numbers; it's about people's livelihoods, families, and communities. We must stand up for these businesses and demand that Congress keep its promise.
Join the Social Storm and demand that Congress protect small businesses!
