Divest Philly from the War Machine

Cities across the US are deprived of funds due to a budget that places militarism over communities. Let’s work for Philly to divest from the war machine!

The threat of war against Cuba is getting more serious. U.S. military planning, escalating sanctions, and Trump’s calls for “fundamental change” should alarm anyone who remembers the devastating consequences of U.S. regime-change wars.

We’re calling on Mexico and Canada to publicly reject any U.S. military action and push for diplomacy instead.

Operation Roll Call was a success; veterans showed up in Fayetteville, NC, to demand an end to forever wars and to defend free and fair elections. On Oct. 3 we will be in Wilmington at the completion of the 22-day women-veteran-led march across North Carolina.

From 2023 to 2026, Google Earth's updated satellite imagery shows what's left of Gaza.

The images reflect what Human Rights Watch has already found: Israel has caused deliberate, widespread destruction throughout Gaza ⤵️

Russia's reported threat to use nuclear weapons against #NATO countries is irresponsible. Threatening to strike "Decision-making centres" means cities full of people.
Nuclear threats are prohibited under the #TPNW and must be condemned by all states.

When people talk about abolishing nuclear weapons, they don't seem to realize that Putin regularly uses nuclear threats for political ends. https://t.co/YcqK5nZy7t

Across Cuba, maternity homes provide free, round-the-clock care for women with high-risk pregnancies.

Under the U.S. energy blockade, constant blackouts are making it increasingly difficult to keep these vital facilities running.

We are raising funds to provide solar panels and equipment to 15 Cuban maternity homes, so mothers and babies have power when they need it most.

When the Trump Administration talks about AI and nuclear weapons, please keep this story in mind. https://t.co/RVAkyULhMw

Military technology has a habit of migrating into everyday policing. Now imagine armed drones over schools, streets, and protests, tracking people and turning civilian spaces into test sites for remote force.

What could possibly go wrong? https://t.co/8EwglkSdRS

We put up a new billboard outside the Marine Corps base in San Diego! End the war, bring our troops home NOW

Israeli authorities must immediately and unconditionally release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and all other arbitrarily detained Palestinian health workers.

Well, well, surprise: a defense contractor’s CEO told the FBI he used campaign cash to win political help while chasing millions in military contracts. https://t.co/KJ51Ljincs

...has refused to give NK security guarantees that would ensure that their nuclear threat would be lessened.

In 1994, Clinton seriously considered going to war with North Korea over their beginning to build nuclear weapons. Our generals were certain we'd eventually win, but the cost would be horrendous. Since then, the US... https://t.co/qpaRfSkg8Z

We urge all VFP members and allies to TAKE ACTION TOMORROW, Saturday, September 26, in coordination with the Veterans Against Fascism rally in Fayetteville/Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, where VFP Executive Director Michael McPhearson will be one of the speakers.

Philadelphia airport police helped the military chase down soldiers trying to escape the Vietnam War. Today, ICE is arresting immigrants at the same airport.

Different era, familiar machinery: policing pressed into service for militarized state control. https://t.co/JZm0jrMGo9
