Action for a Peaceful Budget

Action for a Peaceful Budget

We're outnumbered and outspent in Washington. For every peace lobbyist, there are five or ten lobbyists for military contractors working every day to make sure their companies continue to get your tax dollars. And their lobbying is having results.

But we have something the military contractors don't have. Tens of thousands of people like you across the country supporting our work and advocating for change.

This Memorial Day week, join us in a Week of Action for a Peaceful Budget. Your elected officials will be home listening to constituents like you, and you can make a difference. Sign up to get involved with this action.
