[Peace-discuss] Rally against the tax bills Saturday, December 16, 2017; 2pm; Federal Courthouse

[Karen Aram]

The statement below is what the groups were originally working with, I included it in the content as information related to their intent, but it maybe misleading to some as the rally is not as they stated in the original draft.
