Move the Money – Fund Communities, Not War

The Issue

The proposed $1 trillion U.S. military budget is a moral and economic failure.

At a time when millions of Americans face housing insecurity, unaffordable healthcare, underfunded schools, and climate disasters, our government is preparing to spend more on weapons, war, and global surveillance than ever before in history.

We demand a budget that prioritizes human needs—not military expansion.

The United States already spends more on defense than the next 10 countries combined. Instead of pouring billions into defense contractors’ pockets, we should be investing in:

  • Affordable housing for all
  • Universal healthcare access
  • Free school meals and education
  • Clean energy and climate resilience
  • Public transportation and infrastructure
  • Mental health care and paid family leave
  1. We call on our elected officials to:
  2. Cut the Pentagon budget and freeze any plans for a $1 trillion expansion.
  3. Audit military contracts for waste, fraud, and abuse.
  4. Reallocate funds to community programs, education, public health, and climate justice.
  5. Stop the militarization of borders and local police and invest in real public safety.

This is not about politics—it’s about priorities.

It’s time to invest in people, not Pentagon profits.

✍️ Add your name to demand a federal budget that builds peace, justice, and equity from the ground up.
