NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR A PEACE TAX FUND

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR A PEACE TAX FUND Important Announcement The National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund will make an important announcement in April 2024 regarding the ongoing work of our organization. We will continue to seek a remedy for the constitutional rights of people of conscience concerning income taxation for war and other military purposes. Our opposition to having our income taxes used for the waging of war in all forms is contrary to our deeply held moral beliefs and is in fact a constitutional First Amendment issue. The National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund sadly shares the news of the death of our board member, Bishop Thomas Gumbleton. Bishop Gumbleton was a longtime advocate for a peace tax fund. We honor his life's work as a peace activist and supporter of our organization, the Peace Tax Fund. Bishop Gumbleton, longtime soul of the US Catholic peace movement, dies Read the article Our Purpose The National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund advocates for H.R. 4529 - The Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund bill, which will protect the First Amendment rights of Americans who have deeply held religious, moral, and ethical beliefs about how their federal income taxes are used for military purposes. Many Americans seek to pay their income taxes knowing they are following the leadings of their conscience. However, a minority of Americans find these deeply held beliefs challenged because of their objection to war. About the Organization Church of the Brethren, Mennonites, Quakers, and others represent this minority whose religious liberty is compromised when they pay their income taxes. Our government already recognizes the liberty of those who have deeply held beliefs against war and they are exempt from military service. We seek equal justice under the law for these taxpayers. Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund bill will protect the rights of all as envisioned in The Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution. About the Bill Watch Compelled by Conscience
