as well as the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee
Those of us who challenge our national spending priorities, know that our complete lack of preparedness to respond to the COVID crisis is directly related to the fact that the health, housing and social services that would have slowed the spread of the virus have been systematically depleted because the lion’s share of our taxes are devoted to militarism and war. Last year along, over $1.7 Trillion in tax dollars was spent on the US military. And even as we struggle to comprehend the magnitude of the Coronavirus epidemic, we also know that the crisis of climate chaos looms larger every day, and urgently needs to be addressed. The US military is the single largest driver of climate change.
Since Tax Day has been extended till May 15, we now have an extra month to get out the word that we are standing up against paying for these deadly priorities. Please use your social media, email, or any creative means you can come up with, to spread the word “Don’t Pay for War!” Join war tax resisters around the country and post a picture of yourself with a homemade sign. Add the hastags #NoTaxes4War and #NWTRCC to help connect with the National War Tax Resistance campaign. Find more ideas and information about Tax Day Actions around the country at NWTRCC.org.
