Tax Day Demo to Say: No More Taxes for War!

The U.S. already spends more on the military than any country in the world. Trump wants to INCREASE the already-bloated military budget while cutting funding for human needs! ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!

As part of the 2017 GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION ON MILITARY SPENDING, North Texas Veterans For Peace and CodePINK Greater Dallas will hold a tax-day demonstration, beginning at 8:00pm at the Dallas Main Post Office, to advocate for better budget priorities.

According to the National Priorities Project, over half of U.S. discretionary spending goes towards the military. Participants will share pie charts and “cost of war” trade-offs (what could have been financed in Dallas County with the money we spent on war) with tax-day passersby about how their federal tax dollars are being spent and encourage them to express their opinions about where their money should go.

They will also join the North Texas Light Brigade at the Main Post Office 8:30pm to convey their messages in lights.
