As the April 15 federal tax deadline approaches, it's worth taking a moment to consider how a tax strike could help Oregon and Washington assert fiscal independence and send a message to Congress that it needs to work harder to halt fascism in the US.
To learn more about this rapidly-growing civil disobedience movement in which people refuse to pay federal income taxes to protest and defund US authoritarianism, I spoke with Christina Thompson, who lives in Maryland and is coordinator of the National Tax Strike.

Slight clarification that the tax return is the paperwork filed. The tax refund is what you get sent back for overpayment.
