DESCRIPTION:No Taxes for War and Genocide!\n\nWe oppose our taxes being used to kill 
 innocent Gazans!! \nNo business as usual on April 15.  \nImmediate 
 ceasefire; humanitarian aid to Gaza NOW!\n\nMonday, April 15, Noon\nRally 
 at UN Plaza, Market St. and Hyde St., San Francisco\nThe UN Plaza, so named 
 for the founding of the UN in 1945, is where the Universal Declaration of 
 Human Rights originated. Article 1 of the Declaration: "All human beings 
 are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason 
 and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of 
 brotherhood." \n\n12:30pm: Parade to IRS Office @450 Golden Gate Ave. from 
 UN Plaza.  Family-friendly parade; banners, posters, streamers, drums, 
 kazoos. Good dogs invited. At IRS: tax refusal teach-in, street theater, 
 bannering, childrens activities, sidewalk chalking, ceasefire postcards, 
 sit-in.\n\nDivest from the War Economy! Defund the Pentagon! Stop paying 
 for wars, occupations and sanctions on Gaza, Cuba, Haiti, Ukraine, Sudan, 
 Yemen. Over 50% of Our Taxes Go to Fund the Pentagon's forever wars. 
 Profits are up 60% (!) for the "Merchants of Death": Lockheed Martin, 
 Boeing, Raytheon (RTX), Grumman, etc.  We pay for 800 U.S. Military Bases 
 Worldwide.\n\nInvest in a Peace Economy! We want our taxes to fund 
 healthcare, housing, education, clean energy, child & elder care, 
 transportation, clean air & water, student debt relief, safe bridges and 
 roadways, libraries-- not war, fear and misery.\n\nWe'll stop the US war 
 machine when we stop funding it! Tens of thousands of innocent Gazans have 
 been killed by the Israeli military with U.S. weapons we paid for. We have 
 spent billions of dollars on weapons for the Israeli military. We supply 
 60% of the weapons Israel is using to kill innocent civilians in Gaza. We 
 demand that Congress and President Biden stop funding weapons to Israel, 
 call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, no additional funding, and 
 halting weapons "already in the pipeline". \n\nHosted by CODEPINK Bay Area. 
 Endorsers (list in formation):  SF Gray Panthers, Extinction Rebellion 
 Peace, ANSWER Coalition, Occupy Forum, No More Guantanamos \n
