John, President Biden is asking Congress to increase the Defense budget. More than what Trump asked for last year.

Meanwhile, Justice Democrats in Congress are asking for a cut to the bloated Defense budget. We can use these BILLIONS to take care of people with Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, canceling student loan debt, housing for all, and free public college.
Republicans, corporate Democrats, debate moderators, and talking heads always ask how we’re going to pay for Medicare for All and a Green New Deal. They never ask how we’re going to pay for a $753 billion defense budget.
We’re transforming the Democratic Party so it’s a party that spends on Medicare for All, not bloated, ever-increasing defense budgets. Add your name to our petition today demanding that Congress and President Biden cut the defense budget and use the billions for health care, education, housing, and combating climate change.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
