Donation protected
Last July, the Washington Badass Teachers Association organized a protest demanding Bill and Melinda Gates divest from corporate education reform. WA BATs are organizing in protest of Bill Gates again, this time on Black Friday – November 28th.
The WA BATs are organizing a WORLDWIDE #BoycottMicrosoft protest in response to Microsoft’s blatant tax evasion maneuvers. Sign up to join the Washington Badass Teachers Association #BlackFriday #BoycottMicrosoft Protest on their Facebook Event link here .
Read WHY we are protesting for our most vulnerable citizens here .
David Sirota uncovered a story about Microsoft's intentional maneuvers to evade paying taxes . As did Crosscut’s Jeff Reifman who explains in Where are Washington’s K-12 Tax Dollars? Just ask Microsoft shareholders . Ian Birrell of The Guardian brings us the GLOBAL story of Microsoft's tax evasion practices and the impacts on citizens worldwide.
In order to have a successful protest we need to attract the mainstream media to our event. The best way we can attract the mainstream media is through the use of artful resistance. We need financial support for costumes, props, lighting, and signage materials.
We want to have a big impact with the media. Please help fund our artful resistance in this peaceful protest.
Be sure to sign up for our Facebook Event and our BOYCOTT.
Join us in boycotting the following Microsoft products worldwide:
MS Windows
MS Office
MS Surface Tablets
Minecraft
Xbox
Nokia phones
Skype
In this candlelight vigil walking protest we carry a light for every child who didn’t get the attention their teacher wanted to give them because of criminal under-funding of schools.
We mourn the learning opportunities lost in our classrooms because of tax loopholes and Microsoft’s intentional evasions.
We mourn the loss of revenue for our most vulnerable citizens whom Bill Gates claims to protect.
We are protesting tax loopholes given to – and taken by the wealthy.
Microsoft is shirking their responsibility for meeting society’s needs and putting the tax burden on the backs of workers, thus perpetuating inequality (while profiting at record levels).
We MOURN economic fairness.
But we aren’t just mourning passively. We are organizing against regressive unethical corporate greed! We have a clear struggle ahead of us and we have solidarity.
Please help us fund this important protest to shine a light on Microsoft's tax evasion practices and the corporate welfare system created by the 1% that hurts our most vulnerable citizens daily.
Our protest needs to make an impact to help our most vulnerable citizens. Help us make this impact through artful resistance in our peaceful protest.
Thank you,
The Washington Badass Teachers Association
