Join Seattle Anti-War Coalition on its annual Tax Day Action to raise awareness of how our Government spends our tax dollars and the enormous amount that goes to the military. There is no better way to inform the public about where our tax dollars end up in the federal budget than in a pie chart that graphically shows how. Congress decides where to distribute tax revenue in the annual discretionary budget. We’ll be handing out this budget at the federal building.

WANW has been invited to table at the Youth Climate Strike to draw connections between climate, nuclear weapons and health for young people. Join us! Contact carly@wpsr.org.

Youth Climate Strike statement: “We, the youth of America, are striking because decades of inaction has left us with just 11 years to change the trajectory of the worst effects of climate change, according to the Oct 2018 UN IPCC Report. We are striking because our world leaders have yet to acknowledge, prioritize, or properly address our climate crisis. We are striking because marginalized communities across our nation —especially communities of color, disabled communities, and low- income communities—  are already disproportionately impacted by climate change. We are striking because if the social order is disrupted by our refusal to attend school, then the system is forced to face the climate crisis and enact change”. See more information here
