The U.S. government should be working to help families access quality health care, good schools, and affordable child care. Instead, the Pentagon is siphoning our resources to cozy up to the tech industry and create a new generation of weapons dealers — and they just requested over $162 BILLION to do it.
If hawks in Congress have their way, those billions will go far to further entrench a system where taxpayer money is redistributed to weapons contractors by the same people cashing the weapons lobby’s checks.
But not if we have anything to say about it. From the debt ceiling to must-pass defense bills like the National Defense Authorization Act, we’re about to face a slew of crucial chances to CUT the Pentagon budget and STOP a weapons and war spending spree. It’s all coming to a head in the next few weeks, and we need you with us along the way.
