NWTRCC News
WTRs in Asheville
David Swanson and Cindy Sheehan and war tax resisters from across the country met up in Asheville, North Carolina, May 3–5. The New South Network of War Resisters hosted and lots of locals joined us, provided housing, and told their stories. Read “Some Don’t Pay Their War Taxes” by David Swanson. See video excerpts. David Gross posted photos on Facebook, and we’ll add more links to photos and video in the next couple days. Thanks to our hosts, to Cindy who took time from the Tour de Peace, and to everyone who came!
Tax Day 2013
Click here for media links and lots of photos and reports from Tax Day actions. Watch and hear war tax resisters on Democracy Now!, KPFA, South Bend TV, and more. Check out what Bishop Gumbleton has to say about war tax resistance, and find links for videos from April 15 protests.
Not Just April 15
War tax resistance doesn’t stop after April 15. In fact, now is a good time to study up. Every paycheck with federal tax withholding gives a loan for federal tax dollars that help buy drones, indefinite detention, nuclear weapons, killing innocent civilians… if you’re reading this you probably have your own list. Read through our “How To” page to get started.
