On May 12, the War Resisters League participated in a day of teach-ins and actions with a broad coalition of unions and community organizations in New York City to stop the state and federal budget cuts which are threatening so many, and to highlight the billions that NYC tax payers are contributing to wars. Click here to see the a street theater performance entitled "Pass the Buck", where WRL organizers, along with volunteers Brian Pickett, Sky Hall, and the Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens, reveal the connections between the state our economy, war, banks and military contractors.
Although the day of action which spawned its name has come and gone, the May 12th coalition is not stopping! Visit the Beyond May 12 facebook page for updates on how organizers are taking this momentum into the future!
