Soda Taxes: What Happened and What’s Next?

Lunchtime Forum

This past November, voters in three Bay Area cities passed taxes on sugary drinks. These successes, only two years after San Francisco first failed to pass a soda tax, and the wide margin of support for the taxes may signal a tipping point in public acceptance. Join us for a discussion with leaders of this fall’s campaigns about what led to these victories and what’s next for soda taxes, both in the Bay Area and beyond.
