How to respond, how to live with ourselves, when we know that our nation spends more on militarism than we do on education, social services, and—the list goes on—are the questions we will be dealing with when I speak on "TAXES FOR PEACE NOT WAR!" at Dorothy Day Catholic Worker on March 1, 2013. http://www.peacetaxfund.org/index.htm#taxesforpeace http://www.peacetaxfund.org/index.htm#taxesforpeace Due to a misunderstanding of Internal Revenue Service filing requirements, the non-profit status of the Peace Tax Foundation, Inc., was suspended on February 22, 2012. At this time, gifts to the Peace Tax Foundation, Inc., are not considered tax-deductible. We are currently reapplying for non-profit status and expect to be reinstated. http://www.peacetaxfund.org/index.htm#notice http://www.peacetaxfund.org/index.htm#notice On Sunday, March 11, 2012, Jack Payden-Travers, the Director of the Peace Tax Fund, will be speaking at two events. http://www.peacetaxfund.org/index.htm#akronlancaster http://www.peacetaxfund.org/index.htm#akronlancaster We welcome Jack Payden-Travers, who has been the Executive Director of the National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund and the Peace Tax Foundation since May 2011.
