On Wednesday March 1st peace protesters the Peace Tax Seven will be back in the Royal Courts of Justice in London, arguing for the right to conscientious objection to military taxation.
After several years being prosecuted for withholding 10% of their taxes (that being more or less the percentage which goes to the military) the Seven turned the tables on the government and began legal proceedings last year. They will be gathering on the steps of the Royal Courts of Justice behind a large mock-up missile carrying the words OUR TAXES, before entering the court for the day-long hearing.
Help fill the court like we did last time - ring Simon 07981 680 638 for details (including last-minute date changes).
The next day, 2nd March, Conscience the Peace Tax Campaign will launch a new website, PeacePays.org - a survey of peacebuilding methods which deliver more peace for the pound than cluster bombs. The PeacePays launch party is at Clerkenwell House, Hatton Gardens, London from 6pm on 2nd March (90 years to the day after the 1917 Military Service Act - the first mass conscription in the UK). Music, videos, screenings of excerpts from the PeacePays site. All welcome. Admission free. Download invite/Flash animation from www.conscienceonline.org.uk.
