Yo No Pago (I Don’t Pay)

Propaganda from the Yo No Pago Facebook page.

Ter Garcia (Waging Non Violence) writes about Spanish activists using Gene Sharp´s techniques of civil desobedience.

Last month, Spanish activists associated with the May 15 movement began a new campaign, Yo No Pago (I Don’t Pay), inviting fellow citizens to practice civil disobedience by not paying for public transport. Contending that the current political regime is not giving people a say in how their taxes are being spent, they feel there is no choice but to withdraw payment.
