8/16/24 is 3rd Friday, time for the monthly peace stand in Eau Claire, 5-6 pm, at Hwy 93 & Golf Road. You may wonder if it matters to anyone, but last month we had 2 demonstrations of it mattering. At one point a Palestinian couple drove by, saw our peace signs and the Palestinian flag, so they bought us boxes of doughnuts and bottled water, telling us how much our public witness meant to them. And later on a young person showed up with their Palestinian flag, have passed us, run home, and come back to join us. Each time we stand for peace, we witness to many people. Join us and make your witness for peace.

The 3rd Friday Peace Stand in Eau Claire is tomorrow, 5/17/24, and it's a good time to show some of our neighbors our shared passion for world peace, standing at the intersection of Hwy 93 and Golf Road. But you may also want to consider action in another part of your life, the Federal taxes you pay for war, and the online workshop below is happening this evening, Thursday, online, at 7 pm Central time. Nearly half of federal income taxes are directed to US militarism. In addition, the current invasion of Gaza is largely funded by military foreign aid to Israel. Refusing payment of federal income taxes is one way to refuse direct participation in US militarism. This session will be an introduction to the whys and hows of war tax resistance, with a discussion of potential consequences and resource referral. This session is for people new to war tax resistance or just getting started. Register at https://wirn.worldbeyondwar.org/webinars/
