I want to move to Santa Cruz, but not for the boardwalk, or the cool summer temperatures, or to earn a graduate degree. I want to move to Santa Cruz to join the rebellion. Wanna come with me? Hoping to improve public health and raise revenue, Santa Cruz has established a two-cent-per-ounce tax on sodas. The new tax defies a 2018 state law that prohibits local governments from imposing such levies. This Santa Cruz Rebellion might seem like small root beer.

I want to move Santa Cruz to join the rebellion. Wanna come along? The city of Santa Cruz has established a two-cent-per-ounce tax on sodas -- in defiance of a 2018 state law that prohibits local governments from imposing such levies. This Santa Cruz Rebellion might seem small. But in a dark moment of deepening authoritarianism, California -- heck, the whole world -- needs a new age of local defiance in which we frontally attack the extortionists who run American society these days.
