Signers of 2022 War Tax Resistance Statement

Divest from War / Invest In People

We, the undersigned, are are divesting from the taxes that fund war and investing in people, planet, and justice. The endless war on terror is continuing with drone warfare in Afghanistan and over 800 U.S. military bases outside the United States. In addition, the recently signed National Defense Authorization Act approved $25 billion more in funding for 2022 than the Pentagon requested. We are not waiting for government approval of our actions. We are divesting from war by refusing some or all of our federal tax dollars that fund it, or by living below the taxable income level. We invite you to join us publicly in this act of civil disobedience to war and war funding.

To join this list, please fill out the registration form on our Sign-On Statement page. If you check the “use my name” box under the “Publicize” section on the form, we will add your name below. You can also fill out the form to request more information.
