>> Republicans passed their tax bill through the Senate that
>> would *increase* taxes on ordinary people by $4.5 trillion over ten years -
>> the largest tax increase in US history. The bill would also trigger
>> automatic cuts to medicare and social security, further devastate public
>> education, and potentially triple or quadruple taxes on graduate students.
>> With $6 trillion in tax cuts for the rich, this rip-off will massively
>> increase economic and racial inequality in the United States.
>>
>> We've written and called our representatives to oppose the bill, and
>> they've shown that they truly don't care. So we're not asking any more. This
>> Friday at 5, we'll join nationwide protests by rallying to fight back. We
>> won't accept having bread taken out of our mouths. Join us and show that
>> there will be no peace until this vicious bill is dead!
