Episode 325: Defund the Pentagon & Kick the Military Out of Our Cities! This week on CODEPINK Radio: As the Trump administration deploys the National Guard to cities like D.C. and Chicago under the pretext of “fighting crime,” communities are instead met with intimidation, militarization, and deepened harm. Local organizers know what truly reduces violence: investing in housing, youth programs, mental health care, and real economic justice, not flooding neighborhoods with soldiers. Danaka talks to organizers from D.C. and Chicago about how this domestic repression is tied to the ballooning Pentagon budget and why defunding the Pentagon and reinvesting in our communities is the only path to real safety.

@codepinkalert Democrats held a press conference on “protecting the climate” but most of them still refuse to stop sending bombs to Gaza. We asked them directly: Is the destruction of Gaza ecocide? If they truly care about the climate, they must stop fueling a war machine that flattens cities, poisons water, burns farmland, and chokes the air with explosives. You can’t claim to fight for the planet while funding the bombs that destroy it.

@codepinkalert If Pelosi doesn’t know about Block the Bombs, the bill to stop sending weapons for Israel’s genocide, then maybe her retirement is the real act of public service
