Where your income tax dollars really go
FY 2009 War Resisters League's Piechart

The United States’ oldest secular pacifist organization, the War Resisters League has resisted war at home and war abroad since 1923. Its work for nonviolent revolution has spanned decades and been shaped by the new visions and strategies of each generation’s peacemakers. WRL's political influences span the globe; central are the teachings of the Indian leader, Mohandas Gandhi, and of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., pacifist-feminist activist and theorist Barbara Deming, labor organizer Cesar Chavez, and peace agitators A.J. Muste and Dave Dellinger.
