Hello friends and freedom fighters!
Can't make it to the protest/press conference we are having at 11:30 AM at the Oakland Federal Building this Thursday?
Don't fret! You can still help educate the people about where their tax dollars are going!
Join us! Members from Jews For a Free Palestine and SUSTAIN members will be passing out leaflets and talking to people about where their $$$ goes for our annual tax day outreach.
The Immigrant Worker Freedom Ride folks will also be holding a program beginning at 5:00pm- see information below.

WHEN: Thursday, April 15 Tax Day 5:30-8:00pm
WHERE: West Oakland Post Office (1675 7th St near W Oakland BART)
WHAT: Pass out SUSTAIN tax-form leaflet encouraging people to think twice about US Tax Aid to Israel and to fund occupation and war in Iraq.
