This week Pres. Biden signed a 2 year extension of #RECA, a law that provides benefits to radiation victims that developed serious illnesses near the NV Test Site during the Cold War-era nuclear testing. https://t.co/q9g4WEyZGX

Is taking no effective action for dealing with Climate Change --

mass suicide
or
mass murder?

BREAKING: Chicago Alderman @CDRosa introduced a resolution to divest the City of Chicago from weapons companies. If you're in Chicago, tell your Alderperson to support this resolution that would move MILLIONS of dollars away from the war machine: https://t.co/3PW2Vtp4Ew

[World BEYOND War @WorldBeyondWar]

Every dollar invested in #weapons and #war is a dollar that could be spent on job creation, education, or healthcare.

👉 Yesterday, World BEYOND War and @codepink met w/ a staff member of the office of @aldsophiaking to call on the city of #Chicago to divest from weapons of war!

Instead of redistributing $$$ from the astronomical, record-breaking $782 BILLION Pentagon budget, the House decided to cut all COVID relief from the latest spending package.

This is the definition of prioritizing the Pentagon (militarism & war) over the people. #CutThePentagon

The most expensive estimates for ending world hunger are about 1/3 of the 2022 US military budget.

Did you know that the Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund has hundreds of millions of dollars invested in war profiteers and weapons manufacturers? I urge you to divest CTPF from war!

[JustPeaceRI @Just_Peace_RI]

Efforts are underway to divest Rhode Island's pension system from the war economy.

Did you know that the United States is the largest exporter of weapons of war around the world?

Public participation in hearings, and email and calling campaigns, is crucial. Watch this space.

What is a Move the Money resolution? Why should #Richmond commit to redirecting #military spending towards human and environmental needs?

📢📢 On Friday, join the #Divest Richmond from the #War Machine coalition for their introductory meeting! https://t.co/wioNjJnDbF #antiwar
