Tax Season Is Here!
If you are somewhere between outraged and sick about all the U.S. tax money that goes to the military and to war, consider joining our public list of war tax resisters and refusers. NWTRCC has updated the War Tax Boycott website for 2012. If you are wondering how to do war tax resistance, some groups offer workshops between now and tax day, April 17, 2012.
