The United States just passed a $1 trillion military budget. Now, the Trump Administration is demanding a $500 billion increase- totaling more than military spending at the height of World War 2.
We have a ~$2 Trillion Dollar Plan to enhance our entire nuclear weapons arsenal, and with the “Golden Dome” Missile Defense system, an additional $3-$5 trillion could be added.
President Trump and leaders in Congress are now demanding a $1.5 trillion military budget. But what do regular people demand?
What could we use this money for instead?
Tax Day to Earth Day is a collaborative centered around the enormous economic and environmental costs of US militarism, and a clear call to thwart this $500 billion increase and to cut the military budget.
Good news! We have the money to solve many of the world’s most pressing issues. We just need to move it from weapons of mass destruction to tools of earthcare and shared prosperity.
