Bay Area Anti-War Protests On Tax Day
Tax Day Protests
Bay Area Grandmothers Against the War will protest the continuing and rising costs of the Iraq war paid for by our income taxes on Monday, April 17, at noon at the Federal Building in Oakland. At 1 pm the group will march to the Civic Center Post Office - 201 13th St. Oakland.
Details
At noon there will be a war tax day protest in San Francisco that will focus on the plight of Palestinians and at 6:30pm a "Tax Day Action & People’s Life Fund Granting Ceremony" will take place in West Oakland.
With similar protests in New York, Philadelphia, Bellingham WA, and Petaluma, this action is part of a nationwide effort by grandmothers to highlight the demand that taxes be used to improve life -- not to destroy life by. The grandmothers are especially concerned about the adverse effects of this vastly increased public debt. Funding for education, health, transportation and the entire social infrastructure is diminishing. The ballooning national debt means future generations will be burdened with paying it off for the indefinite future. To emphasize the fact that our country is “in the red” the protesters will be dressed in red.
