It's Tax Day 2026 — and the Trump administration is doling out a trillion dollar military budget, and trillions in tax breaks for the rich, while slashing public goods and social services for millions of Americans.

We know that Workers Deserve More — and we have to organize to win everything for everyone!

Join DSA's mass call with special guests, to learn about the terrible ways your tax dollars are currently spent, and what all that could be funding instead — and what we can do about it, together!
