War tax resistance is one way to challenge the violence and oppression of our government. From federal prison cells to Standing Rock to the streets of Ahwar in southern Yemen, our government is targeting Black, Brown, and Native people for destruction. Whether by drone strikes or police bullets, the U.S. government is in the business of maintaining white supremacy with violence--a business paid for by our tax dollars.
This coming year, an estimated $1.4 trillion, that's 48%, of the federal budget will go to the military. On top of that, an additional $23 billion will go to federal prisons and law enforcement, not to mention the military equipment that is transferred to local police departments and used in our streets.
