Let's mobilize opposition before the Senate votes this fall on an $858 billion military budget! That’s $45 billion more than President Biden requested & $100 billion more than Trump’s military budget. What’s in this behemoth? Plenty of give-aways to military contractors –$$$ for new nuclear warheads, new plutonium pits – $$$ for more F-35’s, $$$ for more weapons to Ukraine and $$$ for Israel’s Iron Dome. Also tucked into the NDAA is expansion of the use of foreign proxies and mercenaries against Iran, North Korea, Russia and China.
Join us as we dive into the nitty gritty to analyze the 2023 military budget - the top line, the line-items, the amendments - with CODEPINK special guests.
