A Peace Tax

About NCPTF and the Peace Tax Foundation

About the Board of directors About the staff Distinctions between the Foundation and the Campaign History of the Peace Tax Fund The Campaign's Statement about 9/11 What we do The National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund , a national non-profit organization located in Washington, D.C., advocates for US federal legislation enabling conscientious objectors to war to have their federal income taxes directed to a special fund which could be used for non-military purposes only. This fund would be called the Peace Tax Fund and the bill we seek to pass is called the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Act. Why we do it The Peace Tax Fund is part of a long and distinguished history of religious freedom, freedom of conscience, and conscientious objection to war in the USA. We want to grant conscientious objectors the right to refrain from paying for war, just as they already have the right to refrain from fighting in war. Read about the Peace Tax Fund's background, why it is important that it be passed, and what effects it will have on our nation.

Peace Begins with Me

Anyone can be a peacemaker. The Bruderhof Peacemakers Guide was created to inspire and empower you to work for peace, and to arm you with living proof of the power of nonviolence to effect change and resolve conflicts. Some of the peacemakers featured on this website are famous, others obscure, but all have dedicated their lives to building a more peaceful and just world through nonviolent means. For each you will find a short biography, an original portrait, and links to further reading. We've also supplied you with ammunition to help you convince those who doubt the practicality of nonviolence. In this section you'll find writings on nonviolence, reconciliation, conflict resolution, pacifism, and conscientious objection to military service, as well as free e-books on peace-related themes.
