Tax Day Actions

New York City - April 17, 2006


We Will Not Be Silent

17 SDS and War Resisters League activists were arraigned on April 17th for their arrests in Times Square on March 19, 2006 (third anniversary of the Iraq invasion). The charges were dismissed for insufficient evidence. Wearing white roses at a symbol of resistance to fascism, the activists left court and joined their colleagues in a spirited protest at the Internal Revenue Service offices on 44th and 6th...after a two hour vigil the protestors marched to Times Square and on down to the general Post Office at 34th St. Carrying coffins and shouting "Happy Tax Day - Your Tax Dollars Are Funding Murder" the procession attracted alot of attention from passersby.

Reiche sturzen. Die Bandenführer schreiten daher wie Staatsmänner.
Die Völker sieht man nicht mehr unter den Rüstungen. - Bert Brecht

(Empires collapse. Gangleaders are strutting about like statemen.
The people can no longer be seen under all these weapons)...
