Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

War Tax Resistors

Listen
Media Options

Every member of the current Voices in the Wilderness delegation to Iraq is a war tax resister. If the US strikes Iraq, they will put out a national call for US citizens not to pay taxes. War tax resistance runs the gamut from not paying the federal tax on your phone bill, which was established as a war tax during the Viet Nam war, to not paying your income taxes and using the money saved to support peace groups.

Guests:

  • Karen Marysdaughter, National War Tax Resistance in Monroe, Maine. Call (800)269-7464.
