The White House & Congress are set to pass a $1.5 trillion budget for the Pentagon this year. This budget will wreak havoc on communities and ecosystems worldwide. While our people desperately need funding for education, food assistance, housing, and healthcare, this budget gives a massive handout to billionaires and corporations. We demand our taxes fund our communities, not endless war. It's time to cut the $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget and reinvest in the people and planet.
Senator Markey introduced a bill in the senate to cut that budget in HALF! This is one of the most radical proposed cuts to the military budget in recent history. While most people in the U.S. oppose spending on forever wars, your senators have no reason not to support Markey’s bill! Write to them and tell them to support it!
