It’s “tax season” again. Each year an organization in which I participate shows the film “An Act of Consience” about a couple who in the 1990’s lost their home due to not paying the IRS the portion of their taxes that would go towards war. The film depicts their battle over losing their property and what they and their neighbors did to fight it, including squatting the house after it was taken by the feds.
We will be showing the film this Saturday at Free Speech Zone.
There will also be Tax Day Protests Across the U.S. Scheduled on Monday, April 17. I am the Utah contact for the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee (NWTRCC). It is my hope that through outreach efforts here in Utah we can get a resistance movement going against paying taxes for the war effort. One such action can also be adovcating publicly for the Department of Peace initiative. It’s amazing how much of our tax dollars goes towards that effort. See the budget analysis by the War Resisters League HERE.
