Where Do My Tax Dollars Go: Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau

I read out live and discuss a well known essay called Civil Disobedience, by Henry David Thoreau. It is still as relevant today as it was when it was first written in 1849. This essay was a major influence on Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King in their use of non-violent, peaceful protesting. I thought it was appropriate to read this essay now because of the current, worldwide protesting that is calling for a ceasefire of the genocidal, Nakba 2.0 situation in Gaza right now.
