Disobey the war! Make fiscal objection!
At a time of increasing global militarisation, marked by the war in Ukraine, the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, along with some fifty other armed conflicts, and the constant increase in military spending, we announce the start of the Fiscal Objection campaign, a direct action of civil disobedience and non-collaboration with the military-industrial complex.
The Spanish state Spain allocates 36 billion euros to military spending in 2025, an amount that could rise to 60 billion with covert items, plus another 95 billion for the new arms race. This spending, which doubles the investment in Minimum Living Income, leads to cuts in health, education and social services, increasing social inequality. This wasteful spending on armaments fuels the spiral of global violence and demonstrates the government's alignment with the interests of the military industry.
In the face of this reality, Fiscal Objection presents itself as a powerful tool to challenge military power and build an alternative future. It consists of diverting a part of our taxes, away from those destined to finance war, towards social projects that promote feminism, access to housing, labour rights, alternative communication, environmentalism, alternative economy, international cooperation and migrants' rights.
How does it work? During the tax declaration, disobedient women allocate a part of their taxes, corresponding to military spending, to organisations working for peace and justice. This act of civil disobedience translates into a concrete action of non-collaboration with militarism and resistance to war.
Fiscal Objection is a collective action of civil disobedience. By refusing to fund war with our taxes, we send a clear message: we demand that the government invest in real solutions, such as housing, health, climate and hunger eradication, not in armaments.
Don't fund war! Object to taxation.
