We, the undersigned organizations and individuals, commit to developing a mass movement across the United States demanding an end to the use of our tax dollars to fund genocide and empire once and for all. We will no longer stand by and allow US officials to operate with impunity.

We pledge to work together to hold US officials criminally accountable for genocide and other crimes against humanity.  

As one step towards developing this mass movement, we pledge to organize and participate in nationwide coordinated protests on April 15, 2026, “Tax Day”. These protests will occur in cities and towns across the country at sites (e.g. IRS offices, weapons companies etc.) to be determined by local organizers. 

With this pledge of action, we affirm these following points of unity:

• We affirm our clear understanding that public tax dollars should be used for essential human needs such as health care, education, housing, and for the overall well-being of Earth and all its inhabitants.

• We are deeply angered by our government's misuse of billions of taxpayer dollars to wage war and commit genocide abroad and oppress, jail, deport and kill our friends and family members at home. From ICE to the IDF, we say no more!

• We acknowledge our complicity and responsibility, as taxpayers of the U.S., in perpetuating this violence, harm and instability as long as our government continues this course.

• We, as individuals and organizations, pledge to do everything within our power to elevate public awareness and advocate for a fundamental shift in how our collective resources are used.

• We insist that our money must go toward building a future for generations to come grounded in justice, peace and hope, rather than in fear and destruction.

• We pledge our support to this call for awareness and responsible stewardship of public resources, and we commit to standing with others who believe that our tax dollars should serve life, dignity, and the future of generations to come.

• We pledge to make Tax Day (April 15) a day of coordinated protests across the US in which we project to the world that we reject our government's use of its power to harm people around the world. We will NOT be silent, not now, not ever.
