“We should invest in our hospitals, schools, affordable housing, and the real security American families need right now – not expensive wars and weapons that make us less safe.”
— Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA)
We couldn’t agree more, which is why we’re urgently rallying support for Sen. Markey’s Slash the Pentagon Act — legislation to CUT Trump’s Pentagon budget request in HALF.
While Trump threatens to bomb bridges, power plants, and other civilian infrastructure across Iran, which would amount to war crimes, Defense Secretary Hegseth struggles to defend the war and its mounting human and economic costs. The last thing Congress should be doing is greenlighting more violence by fulfilling their whopping $1.5 TRILLION Pentagon budget demand.
The weapons lobby is digging in while Trump and Hegseth ramp up the pressure to pass their $1.5T plus-up. We say: No More. So we need to flood congressional offices with our demand in return: prioritize people over the Pentagon by slashing Trump’s war budget in half.
