To influence policymakers in the White House and make a real impact, the time to act is NOW.

Friend,

More weapons and war aren’t the way. Tell President Biden: Cut the Pentagon budget!

The president is putting the final touches on next year’s budget now, and with global tensions on a razor’s edge, “security” is sure to be a top priority. But for decades, the U.S. government has spent more on weapons and war than any other country on earth -- and it didn’t make anyone, anywhere, any safer.

It’s time to rethink this broken approach.

This year, we could pour even more bombs and bullets into a world where violence is increasing by the second -- unless activists like you speak up to demand something different.

This moment marks the start of a legislative marathon to press the White House and Congress to reject the misguided notion that BILLIONS for weapons and war are the only way to keep us safe and help us thrive.

The President’s budget proposal is due in the next few weeks, so the clock is already ticking. The time to act is NOW to influence policymakers in the White House and make a real impact.

Budgets are moral documents that should reflect our values and priorities. Can you call on President Biden to invest in human needs and cut the Pentagon budget now?

Thanks for all you do,

To President Biden:

We're witnessing the catastrophic fallout of a military-first approach: endless wars, global instability, and blatant neglect of pressing domestic issues. It’s a cycle of destruction, not defense. I urge you to cut funding for the Pentagon budget in the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2025.

Signed,
