Yesterday, Virginia Organizing leaders in Richmond, Charlottesville and Hampton Roads participated in actions to promote tax fairness on Tax Day. In Charlottesville, we held a media conference and displayed signs showing the amount of money the government allocates to wasteful defense spending and tax breaks for big corporations that ship jobs overseas and hide profits in offshore bank accounts. 

 

In Richmond, we handed out pizza and flyers to show how much the government spends on defense and war compared to what we spend on families. 

 

In Hampton Roads, volunteers staffed a phone bank, making calls to Congress to support tax fairness. 

 

Will you take a moment to call and support tax fairness? You can find out who your U.S. Representative is by clicking here. You can also contact U.S. Senator Tim Kaine at 202-224-4024 and U.S. Senator Mark Warner at 877-676-2759. 

 

Thank you for your efforts!
