U.S. military spending is a threat to the globe

Posted: 15th August 2026

The legislation now moving through the U.S. Congress takes major steps to merge the U.S. and Israeli militaries into a single war and genocide machine, potentially eliminating any public notice of or possibility to block U.S. weapons shipments to Israel. The same legislation vastly increases U.S. military spending to a level far above the rest of the world’s military budgets combined. Part of U.S. military spending goes to aiding the militaries of other countries, part to pressuring other countries to increase their military spending, part to occupying other countries with U.S. bases, and part to producing propaganda for war and — in a deadly vicious cycle — to further increasing military spending the next year.

We can and must stop this legislation as a global movement for peace!

Go here for information, flyers, stickers, event resources, an online petition, and (for people in the U.S.) a way to email and phone Congress.

See something that costs too much? There’s a sticker for that!

Military Spending Kills Jobs As Well As People!

We can do better! Let’s get started!
