MomsRising, Americans for Tax Fairness, Citizens for Tax Justice, Coalition on Human Needs, National Priorities Project, and others invite you to a Twitterstorm in honor of Tax Day on Monday, April 18th from 2-3pm ET. This will give our organizations and community an opportunity to talk about the problems with our tax system, where most Americans and small businesses pay their fair share while large and wealthy corporations skip out on $700 billion they owe in taxes on their offshore profits. We also will take this opportunity to discuss ways the billions of dollars owed by wealthy corporations could be used to boost all Americans through important programs and promote working family tax credits.

Join us with resources, graphics, ideas and tweets by adding the hashtag #CorpsPayUp and #TaxDay to all your tweets at 2pm ET on April 18th.

Twitterstorm (sample tweets, graphics) and other Tax Day materials can be found here and will be updated regularly.

 Please also consider inviting your Twitter followers to participate. Here are a few model promotional tweets to get involved:
