</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">2018 has brought us a $700 billion US
military budget, the heightened threat of nuclear war and
increasing attacks on immigrants, education, health care, the
environment and all but the most privileged in the US. Those
of us who stand against these threats to our very survival
feel ever greater reasons to resist militarism and war, and to
redirect our taxes toward life sustaining work! The <a href="http://nwtrcc.org/resist/how-to-resist/" target="_blank">National War
Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee's website</a> is an
excellent source of information on the methods and
consequences of refusing to pay for war.<br>

<p><font face="Calibri">The <a href="http://nowartax.org" target="_blank">People's Life Fund</a> is looking
forward to redirecting a record breaking $65,000 in resisted
war taxes to local peace and justice organizations this year!
We have increased the maximum grant size to $2,500 for 2018,
and extended the deadline to March 23rd. Applications can be
downloaded here: <a href="http://www.nowar.tax/peoples-life-fund/plf-application-2018.docx" target="_blank">PLF
