This is an important moment. If the courts side with the Administration or if the Administration defies the Constitution, it will be our civic duty to initiate a General Strike @generalstrikeus.bsky.social and immediately stop paying Federal Income Taxes.
And if you're coming to No Kings Day and want to spread the good word about #NoTaxesforKings feel free to bring a few National Tax Strike mini flyers with you! Because why pay for fascism?!? bit.ly/NTSFlyers

When the Federal Government mobilizes the military against civilians, as we're seeing in LA, we need state governors to respond with actions, not just words.
Ask your governor what theyβre going to take to protect their constituents from this flagrant abuse of power from the Federal Government.

We are reminded of this quote from Abraham Lincoln to Congress in 1848, βAny people anywhere being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better.β We have the power and we are rising up.
Each day, more and more people are waking up and saying we will tolerate it no longer. We are boycotting, we are protesting, and now there is a growing movement of federal income tax resistance to hold this administration accountable for violating their oath of office.
We have loads of resources on TaxStrike.info on how to join the strike in a way that matches your risk tolerance (withholding all or less, lowering your tax burden, etc). But the best way to learn is by hearing directly from folks who have been tax resisters for years at our webinar tomorrow.
Totally understand - folks are feeling especially cautious about their data right now. We welcome folks to manage their data in ways they feel most comfortable, including using pseudonyms and creating unique secure email addresses for making good trouble.
The next one will be in May - date coming soon! Follow us here to stay in touch or sign up for email updates at bit.ly/NoTaxesForKings
This administration is using our tax dollars for rampant cruelty and egregious violations of our civil liberties - including the right to due process. We think itβs time to cancel this trail subscription to fascism while we still can. Itβs time for a National Tax Strike.
