John,

For months, conservative Democrats and Republicans have voiced their concern about the deficit and national debt. They’ve argued the United States doesn’t have enough resources to expand Medicare, guarantee paid leave, and address the climate crisis. Yet, these same politicians are championing a bloated defense budget, including kickbacks for defense and technology companies.

Soon, the Senate will vote on the $778 billion National Defense Authorization Act, which is $37 billion more than President Trump’s last 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. Bernie agrees, that’s why he won’t vote for this military spending bill.

Are you with us against this outrageous budget? Donate what you can today as Justice Democrats in Congress join Bernie to fight the military-industrial complex. We need to spend less on war and more on funding our progressive priorities.

The conservative Democrats and Republicans who fought investments for working families and cut popular, progressive policy proposals from the Build Back Better Act are the same members of Congress championing needless defense spending.

No one ever asks how we can “afford” our massive military spending. Yet Bernie and Justice Democrats have to defend investments for working people.

We’re transforming the Democratic party so it’s a party that will fight for climate action, housing, and health care — not defense contractors and the military-industrial complex. Support our work today with a $3 donation. We don’t take a cent from defense contractor PACs that fund Republicans and corporate Democrats, so we need your help.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
