Join CODEPINK Congress as we say NO to U.S. full spectrum dominance of the air, sea, land, and now SPACE! The U.S. Space Force was established under Trump through the FY2020 National Defense Authorization Act, despite the United States' commitment under the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 which restricts the placement of weapons of mass destruction in space and bans military maneuvers on celestial bodies. Now Biden is on board with the Space Force, too - why? Let's talk about the militarization of space, the escalation of the arms race, and the importance of protecting the heavens from earthling arms dealers.
Featuring
Congresswoman Maxine Waters represents the 43rd Congressional District in Los Angeles and has served in Congress since 1991. Congresswoman Waters, co-sponsor of the "No Militarization of Space Act" (H.R. 5335) and Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, will talk about the bill to abolish the Space Force and how the $15 billion budgeted for the Space Force could be spent on housing at home.
Bruce Gagnon is the Coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space and is a Vietnam-era veteran who regularly protests the Navy shipyard in Bath, Maine. Getting his start as a state coordinator of the FL Coalition for Peace and Justice, Gagnon has worked on space issues for more than 20 years.
Take Action!

It is unconscionable that our Senators are seriously considering a $778 billion Pentagon budget when they refuse to spend just a fraction of that on healthcare, education, and green jobs. It’s time they hear from all of us: we can’t afford the $778 billion Pentagon budget, we CAN afford healthcare, education, and green jobs!
