3% of U.S. military spending could end starvation on earth.
And let’s be honest, that percentage keeps shrinking and will shrink a bit more if Congress approves President Biden’s request to send more weapons to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the U.S. border with Mexico.

Ending starvation across the globe entails redirecting a miniscule portion of an inordinate budget currently set aside to perpetuate wars worldwide. It is not a question of where the money can be found, but how it's being used.
Militarism is escalating at truly horrifying rates across the world, and millions upon millions of people are being displaced and left without reliable access to food and water. And to think, such a small amount of this spending could be used to turn the world in a course opposite to what we’re currently witnessing. Whether starving in war zones across the world or struggling at home in the country of the superpower with the budget easily big enough to feed them, the rates of food instability are staggering.
Our billboards like the one above are just one way we bring this alarming statistic to help educate and mobilize the public.
Do you have a few dollars to chip in to support us expanding our billboards campaign?
With your help we can bring this important and incredibly timely message to the masses!
Note that, due to censorship, it is often difficult to get approval
from billboard companies to display our ads, even when we are paying
them! Sometimes we're able to turn news of the censorship into major free advertising. Other times we find another location for billboards. We use mobile and electronic billboards, posters, signs, murals, and other forms of advertising. Money raised from this campaign will be used towards
billboards or similar media projects.
