Tax Day Leafletting-Evanston Post Office
Apr 15, 2010
Time: 08:00 am
Description: PROTEST PAYING TAXES FOR WAR!
TAX DAY LEAFLETING ACTION:
CAN YOU SPARE AN HOUR OR TWO TO TELL PEOPLE THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FEDERAL BUDGET AND WHERE THEIR INCOME TAX MONEY REALLY GOES?
Every year on April 15, people of peace in the North Shore distribute "Where Your Income Tax Money Really Goes," a detailed and accurate flyer produced by the War Resisters League.
Sponsored by Neighbors for Peace and the North Shore Coalition for Peace, Justice, and the Environment, the leafleting takes place this year on Thursday, April 15 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Evanston Post Office on Davis and Oak, just two blocks West of the El. All materials are furnished and parking is generally available on Davis. To see the flyer, go to http://www.warresisters.org/files/FY2011piechart.pdf.
Sixty volunteers are needed-or more-to sign up for one or two-hour shifts. It's easy, it's fun, and it's a day when people are genuinely receptive to the message for peace. Contact Rosalie Riegle at 847. 644.2281 (or through this site at Iraqi Student Project DePaul) with the hours you'd like to leaflet. Show citizens of the North Shore a different message than that of the "tea baggers."
OR order your own leaflets from War Resisters League and coordinate one at your local post office.
"This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the
sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its
children. Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket
fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and
are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -- Dwight D.
Eisenhower
