Economic Security and Mobility Project

Advance Just Tax Systems


Back to Projects

Building the infrastructure and narrative for just tax systems. A just tax system should help people and communities thrive by expanding access to credits, reducing barriers, and supporting long-term economic security.

MDC’s Role:

MDC brings partners across sectors together to strengthen the infrastructure, policy, and narrative needed to build just tax systems in the South. Through coalition-building, research, public education, and community-rooted partnerships, we help connect tax systems to broader economic security and mobility goals.

  • NC Tax Coalition: Learn how MDC works with partners to expand access to state tax credits and modernize tax policy and filing systems.
