Your TAX DAY Toolbox

This Tax Day, we call on people of conscience to resist. Where our politicians have fueled genocide with endless weapons, the people must intervene! Fight to move dollars away from the genocide machine at every level, from the bottom up—starting in your local community.⁠

Demand that your local government #DivestNow from weapons manufacturers, complicit corporations, and Israel bonds. Shake up the status quo. Build toward long-term wins. Repeat this across the country until it becomes too costly to do business with genocide.

Here’s how you can take action:

  • Start or ramp up a divestment campaign in your community, whether at the city/town, county, state, or university level.

  • Canvass in your neighborhood to recruit support.

  • Speak at Council with your new comrades.

  • Wheatpaste flyers to spark conversation.⁠

Find all the resources you’ll need below.
