When I voted No, I thought of all of the legislation that we desperately need to pass for the people.
This month, I voted No on legislation containing massive defense spending. This is another increase in military spending after Congress increased the excessive, bloated Pentagon budget to $768,000,000,000 just a few months ago.
That’s even more than Trump’s last defense budget. It’s a giveaway to defense corporations. And it’s just wrong.
This ever-increasing military spending continues despite significant waste, fraud, and abuse. That funding can and should be repurposed for our communities instead of being dumped into the profits of a small number of private defense contractors. I will continue to fight to reduce our Pentagon spending and instead redirect that money to working people, parents, and communities across our country.
If you agree, will you please contribute $3 to fund my advocacy for less wasteful defense spending and more funding for our communities? This is a fundamental issue in how Congress allocates money, and we need to change it.
Contribute $3
Part of undoing the damage Trump did in office is spending our energy and federal dollars battling climate change, strengthening the social safety net, and expanding health care. Congress should not be wasting money on military bloat when we need to fund programs in pursuit of economic, social, racial, and environmental justice.
It’s why I’ve consistently championed a 10 percent cut to military spending. It’s why I continue fighting so hard to invest in health care, education, paid leave, housing, the fight against climate change, and so much more.
Support my fight to deliver for our communities, our people, and our planet with a $3 contribution to my campaign today. We must ensure Congress is working for the people, not defense corporations.
In solidarity,
Pramila
