Did you hear last week’s smoke alarm?
Hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and heatwaves are only becoming more catastrophic, and Congress has missed the memo. Because while smoke cloaked the Eastern Seaboard last week, the GOP-led House Armed Services Committee was busy putting the final touches on an $886 BILLION weapons and war budget.
It requires an INCREDIBLE amount of energy to wage war across the globe — and almost all of it is derived from fossil fuels. You can’t wish away a wildfire. But by throwing HUNDREDS of BILLIONS more dollars at the Pentagon and its global “bootprint” of fuel-guzzling planes, ships, tanks, and bases, Congress is fanning the flames of the climate crisis instead of funding programs that clean our air and water and create safe and thriving communities.
The good news? When the House votes on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in the coming weeks, we’ll get a crucial shot at stopping them from rubber-stamping a near-trillion-dollar check for pollution and war.
We’re heading into NDAA negotiations facing a steep 2023 fundraising gap of $25,615. Any amount will fuel our work to cut the polluting Pentagon budget. Can you chip in now?
