Americans across the country took to the streets this Tax Week, demanding their hard-earned dollars go to health care, food assistance, and lowering costs — not billionaire handouts or foreign wars.
Here’s what it looked like:
That's absurd.

A settlement letter from Starbucks, mailed to a Starbucks worker. "Dear Jacklyn, we are writing to confirm that your Documented coaching... has been removed from your partner file and will not be used in any way against your employment in accordance with a recent NLRB settlement."
Starbucks is the biggest violator of labor law in modern history.
That's why organizing unions in our stores is so important!
SBWU members have won settlements, reinstatements, backpay, and better conditions after taking action together. That's the union difference ✊
"People are angry the taxes they pay don’t seem to buy anything anymore, while those who benefit the most from the system appear to pay the least, or nothing. That’s an argument for fixing who pays taxes and how the money is used, not tossing people a tax cut as a Band-Aid for a bullet wound."
People stand in a room, smiling and talking to each other.
People stand in a room, several groups having conversations, all smiling and talking to each other.

Trump uses vote by mail because it's easy, safe, secure and saves time.

Congressional Republicans appear ready to put SNAP benefits even MORE at risk for kids and their families for the next 10 years, in order to pay for ONE HOUR of war in Iran.
