The Biden administration is funneling billions of dollars into the wars in Palestine and Ukraine– more than any other year to date. Meanwhile, our government continues to spend record-breaking amounts preparing for a war with China that nobody wants. Act now to tell President Biden and Secretary Blinken we want our tax dollars to fund cooperation, not conflict!
US-funded wars have devastated the lives of millions of people around the world. Instead of hemorrhaging all our money into sowing hate and fear, we need to work together to support environmental protection and global cooperation.
In the wake of nationwide protests against the US funding Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Secretary Blinken paid an unfriendly visit to China, threatening further sanctions if China did not adhere to US interests. This follows the US stating its firm commitment to further militarization of the Asia-Pacific, a dangerous game of provocation.
The US is set to spend over $1.5 trillion* on defense in the coming year, much of which will continue to fund our global proxy wars. Since 2001, the US military has contributed to over 1.2 billion metric tons of greenhouse gasses, millions of civilian casualties, injuries, and mass displacement. The costs of war are far, far too high.Â
We can’t let our government destroy the world in its mission to maintain a bloody global hegemony.Â
