For years, Big Soda has preyed on low-income communities with targeted advertising of the beverages' empty calories and short-lived pick-me-ups for exhausted people. Now, a law introduced in 2016 is finally being implemented. For every ounce of soda, there will be a 1-cent tax.

These include undocumented immigrants, low-income families, seniors and organizations that help these groups.
