Tax Day Protests Demand End to the War on the Environment
War tax resisters redirect tax dollars from the Pentagon to People

Calling for an end to endless war on people and the environment, activists are calling for funding for people and the planet. Thousands of people across the United States—from San Diego to Manhattan—are pushing an online protest campaign on Wednesday, April 15. In this past, local actions featured public hearings on an immoral budget, flying kites instead of drones, and “Burma shave” sign displays during rush hour. These actions may be re-instituted on July 15, the day on which taxes and tax forms are due this year. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, these activists will make their present felt online on April 15th, by posting the call: “Don’t Pay for War!” and using the hashtags, #NoTaxes4War and #NWTRCC.
