As we reflect on 2020, let’s remember it wasn’t all bad.

Despite COVID, we managed to come together and find creative ways to continue to take on the war machine! 🧵

.@SenWarren to Biden’s defense appointee: Spending $740 billion a year on the Pentagon while 400,000 Americans die and millions go unemployed and hungry is unconscionable.

Today’s letter from @BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink is more of the same too-small, too-slow steps to address the escalating challenges of a global #pandemic, #climatechange, #racism, and threats to democracy. https://t.co/g6fxzJErge

[CODEPINK @codepink]

It's a no-brainer🧠

If you consider yourself "progressive" you can't take cash from war profiteers

Tell 27 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to stop taking campaign contributions from the war industry!
