Americans across the country took to the streets this Tax Week, demanding their hard-earned dollars go to health care, food assistance, and lowering costs — not billionaire handouts or foreign wars.

The message from the ground to DC is clear: stop putting billionaires, ICE, and war ahead of the best interests of working families. Here’s what it looked like 👇
