You don’t support global militarism, but do your dollars? If you protest the government’s involvement in wars and military actions, and you advocate for peace and nonviolence, have you considered how your taxes might be working against you? In this workshop, you’ll get the chance to learn about your role in financing the war machine and what you can do about it.

Join National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee (www.nwtrcc.org) outreach director Chrissy Kirchhoefer and members of Pace e Bene's War Tax Resistance Affinity Group for an engaging overview of the many options available for interrupting the smooth flow of resources into war and the resulting devastation to life, human and non human. Bring your questions, concerns, skepticism and friends—all are welcome!

About the Tax Resistance Affinity Group

If you want to end the war then instead of sending guns, send books. Instead of sending tanks, send pens. Instead of sending soldiers, send teachers. —Malala Yousafzai

What else is possible to do with the thousands of dollars we give to war each year, via our federal taxes? Could tax resistance serve as a vehicle for reparations for both domestic and foreign policy that has caused and causes harm? We meet monthly online to learn about historic and current forms of tax resistance, and related topics based on interest. Group members will support one another to discern how/whether to engage in tax resistance. If interested in joining the group, let the coordinators know here.
