Tax Day Actions to Protest Corporate Tax Dodgers
Politicians claim that our local, state and federal governments are broke, to justify cutting critical public services to working class communities. But, we do not have a spending problem - we have a revenue problem!
Corporations like Bank of America, FedEx, and Verizon (and many others) enjoy massive tax cuts, and pay little to no taxes on their huge profits each year. If they simply paid taxes on their income like the rest of us, we could reduce or eliminate the need to slash funding for programs that serve the majority of us.
Join actions in your city Monday, April 18th - Tax Day - to demand that these Corporate Tax Dodgers PAY THEIR TAXES!
To find an action near you, check out the lists of actions around the country hosted by our friends at US Uncut and the Right to the City Alliance.

Here's more info on where events are being held tomorrow.
There's a tool to input your zip code to find one near you.Tax Day: Make Them Pay
"Enough is enough! On Tax Day, April 18, as millions of Americans patriotically pay their taxes, we will call on corporations and millionaires to pay their fair share. At hundreds of events from coast to coast, we'll present tax bills to corporate tax dodgers for the billions of dollars their legions of lobbyists helped them avoid. We'll organize a peaceful, dignified, and powerful day of action to call on corporations to pay their fair share. And we'll demand that our elected leaders make them pay."

Or states could move to open their own Public state owned banks like they did in N. Dakota around 90 years ago. They "serve the people" and keep their revenues in their state.
They didn't give it to wall street to gamble away on risky financial schemes.At least a dozen states are now working on setting up their own public state banks based on the N.D. model. If all 50 states did this, kept their own revenues away from wall street and the too big to fail banks........the bankers might start showing people a little respect.

Chicago Activists Mark Palestinian Land Day with Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Flash-Mob
On March 30th at 5 pm, a group of social justice activists held a "flash-mob" in downtown Chicago. The demonstration was organized as one of hundreds of demonstrations held around the world to mark the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions Global Day of Action, an annual event designed to call attention to the movement to boycott the apartheid policies of Israel. Demonstrators performed a choreographed dance to an original song called "BDS," a parody of "ABC" by the Jackson Five. Video of the flash mob is available here:
"In the lyrics to our song, we sing 'apartheid and ethnic cleansing go on in Palestine every day, but without the help of you and your money, the occupation will go away.' While the struggle to end Israel's apartheid policies is not an easy one, it's true that we in the United States can support justice and peace by refusing to support companies and institutions that support Israel and its occupation of Palestine," said Joy Ellison, an activist with Palestine Solidarity Group-Chicago (PSG-Chicago). "We hope that this flash mob empowers our community to stand up against apartheid and challenges Chicago businesses and institutions that are actively supporting the oppression of the Palestinian people."
Before this performance at "The Bean," the flash mob was held outside of Chicago Cultural Center, home of the Chicago Sister Cities International office. For the last two years, activists with PSG-Chicago have pressured the city of Chicago to end its relationship with its Israeli sister city, Petach Tikva. Petach Tikva, an officially segregated city, is the first Jewish-only settlement in historic Palestine and the site of the primary detention center where Israeli forces abuse and torture Palestinian political prisoners. Human Rights group Amnesty International dubbed Petach Tikva "Israel's Guantanamo."

No more talk take action start a flash mob now and start takin whats yours!!!!!!
Friday afternoon 4/15/11) in San Francisco with a flashmob at Bank of America and told them to "PAY UP!"Bank of America is the #1 largest bank and the 5th largest corporation in the U.S., but it pays less in taxes than the average American household! If they and their corporate tax dodger friends paid their fair share of taxes (like the rest of us), we wouldn't 'need' to slash community services in the budget.
It's time Bank of America pays their taxes! So we took action to tell them just that.
Dozens of activists took Bank of America employees by surprise downtown San Francisco Friday, by breaking out in a song and dance in the middle of the bank, to the tune of Salt-n-Pepa's classic hit, "Push It", re-mixed as "Pay Up!"
Check out the list of actions against Corporate Tax Dodgers happening around the country this Monday (http://usuncut.org/actions/list) and join a Tax Day action near you!
*Many thanks to our partners at The Ruckus Society for support throughout this action and for this action report! (your Welcome!):)
