War Industry Resisters Network – Week of Action
War Industry Resisters Network – Week of Action! (April 17th-24th): Check out all the folks taking action during the Week of Action! Join a group near you!
Clearly, there are no winners in the terrible war in Ukraine — except one: U.S. and British military contractors who will carry all their increased profits all the way to the bank.
Big Campaign contributions. 700 lobbyists. Militaristic think tanks. Government advisory boards. Hiring 1700 former Pentagon officials and stacking the government with their own people. These military contractors have numerous ways to determine Pentagon budgets, shape our foreign policy, create war fever, and pick our friends and enemies.
The result is $768,000,000,000. That’s $768 billion dollars. Democrats and Republicans in Congress just passed the most bloated military budget ever. That’s also $768 billion worth of new fossil fuel emissions to be created by the single biggest single source of carbon pollution on earth: the U.S. war machine.
The organizing for the new War Industry Resisters Network is full speed ahead. We’ve had over a hundred folks join our organizing calls and over 500 join our previous webinar. Join us as we continue to resist the dangerous war profiteering companies!
You can also join our next and final organizing meeting before the week on Thursday, April 14, 6:30 pm EDT. Zoom Link.
