DESCRIPTION/NOTES: On April 15, we will do a “Bowling for Tax Dodgers” action outside our post office in Columbia Missouri. It’s a high traffic, old school downtown post office across from Police Department. Historically we’ve had luck getting press there on tax day, and it’s a great location to point out the need for more public investment – for example post office, police and first responders. We’re targeting our growing student base as well as core members for the action. And we will put each of the 10 baseball cards on bowling pins and have folks ‘take them down’ to point out how much these tax dodger are hurting our community and call the question of ‘Who Pays’ on Tax Day, us, or Wall Street Corporations.
