Dear Friend, As the current administration is now authorizing the first use of U.S.-provided long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia, at the risk of nuclear apocalypse, the next gang is impatiently waiting at the door with plans for militarism aimed at China and Iran, not to mention a militarized border, exacerbation of climate collapse, and the defunding of education and other non-war enterprises under the banner of "efficiency." We may soon look back with nostalgia for the days when a mere 60% of our taxes went to the war machine. But here's an idea: Pay less in U.S. federal taxes by making a tax-deductible donation to RootsAction Education Fund! A few of the things we do with the money: - Pushing back against college crackdowns on student activism to end Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, the RootsAction Education Fund just launched the national Teach-In Network.
- RootsAction Education Fund has continued to organize the Defuse Nuclear War coalition. Inspired by Daniel Ellsberg’s cogent warnings on the dangers of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), we’ve made closing them down a focus of our work, as reflected on this webpage: Eliminate Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles
- We’ve also produced and released a film documentary – A Common Insanity – with Daniel Ellsberg talking about nuclear weapons and the particular threat that ICBMs pose.
- A listing of a variety of our recent actions is here.
If you want to support such organizing with a tax-deductible donation, please click here. Thank you! —RootsAction Education Fund team |
