Mike Butler is the youngest member on the Administrative Committee of the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee. He is an avid dishwasher and spends his time between organizing with the IWW and volunteering at Trinity House Catholic Worker, where he lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Mike first became aware of war tax resistance right after 9/11 when he realized that taxes were not going towards helping people but rather towards funding illegal war. His focus is on labor issues and why working class people should not pay taxes for wars that bosses use to kill working class people all around the world.
