Dear friend

New data published today by think tank SIPRI reveals that UK military spending increased by almost 3% in 2020, making the UK the 5th biggest military spender in the world.

Today is the Global Day of Action on Military Spending. All around the world, campaigners are challenging the myth that spending more money on warfare will make us safer. Today, we come together to say: defund the military. Defend people and planet ([link removed] .

Communities know what makes them feel safe, and it’s not increasing nuclear warheads or building killer robots. It’s things like secure housing, decent work, tackling the climate crisis, pandemic preparedness and ending institutional racism. Together, we can build a movement for change, from the ground up.

Spead the word in your community about the need to shift our priorities: Speak out in your local media ([link removed] .
