Move the Money from the Pentagon to the People ...
The U.S. spends more on its military than the next nine countries combined, yet Congress just passed a staggering $886 billion budget for fiscal year 2024. Congress should reject these increases to the Pentagon’s already bloated budget and instead seek cuts to top-line spending. It is time that legislators reevaluate what threats their constituents truly face.
A care income for all caring work for people and planet
Caring for others is the foundation of every society. Yet this work, done mostly by women, in the home, on the land and in the community, is devalued, unwaged or low waged, leading to poverty, dependence and endless work. The pandemic and above all the climate emergency have forced us to recognise that caring for and protecting people and the natural world must become the universal priority.
The last few years have felt disappointing for those of us advocating for a nuclear weapons-free world. U.S. policies, weapons systems, budgets, and relations with nuclear-armed states have all maintained an unacceptable status quo, or gotten significantly worse. Reflecting this, as well as the overall state of the world, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Doomsday Clock stands at 90 seconds to midnight, its most dire position ever. Going forward, Peace Action is emphasizing pressure on the president and Congress to reject the nuclear business as usual in favor of leadership to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons. We support efforts to promote the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. We are founding members of the Defuse Nuclear War Coalition.
Welcome to our Campaign to save the future.
Addressing the twin threats of nuclear weapons and the climate emergency!
The Duel Threat of Nuclear Weapons & Climate Change.
two of the greatest threats facing the world. 14,000 nuclear weapons, in nine nuclear-armed states have the capacity to destroy humanity. Climate change threatens all life and we must shift priorities away from militaries and war, toward just and sustainable peace. Militarism and the Climate Emergency -- The Pentagon is a major polluter. The Pentagon is the world’s largest institutional user of petroleum.

Diplomacy, not war.
Negotiate Don’t Escalate.
Aide the Victims of the War.
We are mobilizing to end the war in Ukraine. We condemn the illegal and aggressive invasion by Russia of Ukraine.
The invasion was a dramatic escalation of the violence that started in 2014. The invasion and occupation have created an increasingly dangerous situation for residents of the war zones and the rest of the world. Immediate humanitarian aid is needed for the victims, and any further escalation must be prevented to avoid stumbling into a wider war or nuclear confrontation.
Diplomacy may look difficult today, but there is no military solution to this crisis.
War continues to rage in Sudan
Conflict between the SAF and RSF erupted on April 15, 2023. While fighting has been chiefly concentrated in the country’s capital, Khartoum, the conflict has impacted other regions of the country. In Darfur, mass killings and displacement have led to reports of ethnic cleansing.
At least 15,500 people have been killed, with over 10 million displaced within the country, making it the largest displacement crisis globally. More than 12 million people have fled their homes, taking refuge inside and outside the country, with children representing about half of the people displaced.
Expansion of the conflict into Sudan’s “breadbasket", Al Jazirah state, has displaced more than 500,000 people and has exacerbated the country’s food crisis. Meanwhile, the looting of businesses, markets and humanitarian aid warehouses is further contributing to food shortages.
While the conflict in Sudan continues to spread, humanitarian access has become more limited.
Join us in our efforts to Free Sudan. As the pople say there: Free the People. Free the Land We demand a free Sudan!
Momentum to end the catastrophic eight year war in Yemen is building, both on the ground in the region with the re-establishment of diplomatic ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and with US politics in Washington. Now is a critical time to act to end the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. We cannot let the current crisis in the Mideast unravel all we have achieved so far.
While a new War Powers Resolution to end US military support for the Saudi-led coalition has not been introduced, a new bipartisan initiative, a privileged resolution was considered by Senators Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Mike Lee (R-UT), will be considered in a few weeks. It cites section 502(B) of the Foreign Assistance Act, requiring a State Department report on the human rights record of Saudi Arabia, positing a possible end to US military assistance based on a pattern of gross human rights violations. We are monitoring this as events unfold and will let you know what action will be needed.Watch for upcoming ALERTS!
In Afghanistan, Underfunding for humantarin assistance poses an existential threat. Lifesaving programs are shutting down, over 200 health facilities have stopped services and hard-won progress to bring down food insecurity is in jeopardy. The U.S. should scale up its humanitarian aid and get other donors to do the same. Congress should meet the Biden administration's appeal for additional humanitarian aid as part of its supplemental funding request. The U.S. should direct more funds to local civil society organizations, like women-led ones, who face the highest risk of closure.
40 million Afghans need more than short-term aid. The World Bank-managed Afghanistan Resilience Trust Fund (ARTF) could be part of a systematic approach to break the cycle of crisis. It funds basic services, like health, education, and livelihood programs to reduce aid dependency — all delivered independently via the U.N. and NGOs. The U.S. should lead efforts to replenish this fund and extend it past its 2025 expiration and expand its scope. Call 202-224-3121
Tell Congress to step up for the Myanmar people
To mark the second anniversary of the Myanmar military coup, Congress is considering two bipartisan resolutions, one in the House of Representatives (H.Res.86) and the other in the Senate (S.Res.20). Take action today to urge your Members of Congress to co-sponsor and support these important resolutions.
The crackdown against opposition to military rule intensified. Thousands of people were arbitrarily detained and more than 1,000 opposition politicians, political activists, human rights defenders and others were convicted in unfair trials. Widespread torture of detainees continued. Four men were executed following unfair trials on politically motivated charges.
Indiscriminate military attacks on civilians and civilian objects resulted in hundreds of deaths and mass displacement. Foreign companies were found to have supplied aviation fuel to the Myanmar military that was responsible for carrying out aerial attacks killing hundreds of civilians. Tens of thousands of ethnic Rohingya people remained in squalid displacement camps and their rights remained severely curtailed. Military authorities continued to restrict the delivery of humanitarian aid.
A US Withdrawal from Syria Is a Win for US Interests and Partners
… because it's high time. Contrary to popular opinion, the United States and its local partners can benefit from a US withdrawal from Syria. Both have strong incentives to support this policy as alternative options will produce worse outcomes down the road. Washington should consider a complete drawdown of troops in Syria to ensure its security interests in West Asia.
US troops should have left Syria and Iraq long ago. A few thousand soldiers scattered in desert bases around a region increasingly hostile to their presence makes no sense.
The death of three Americans in Jordan due to an attack by the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” was an avoidable tragedy. It should prompt the United States to speed up its exit from Syria and Iraq, something policy makers have been contemplating for some time. Washington must minimize its risks. To dig in and escalate would be a mistake that is likely to lead to more Americans killed. The mission that brought U.S. troops to Iraq and Syria – to destroy ISIS – has been accomplished. Residual policing of ISIS remnants can be undertaken from bases in Qatar, Kuwait and Turkey.
Over 220 global organizations are calling for a complete cancellation of the F-35 program. Here's just some of the reasons why:
1- The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program remains DOD's most expensive weapon system program. It is estimated to cost over $1.7 trillion to buy, operate, and sustain. DOD plans to acquire 2,470 F-35s to replace several other aircraft used by the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. Apr 27, 2022
2 - A faulty engine caused the $1.7 trillion boondoggle fighter to crash during a December quality check. Jan. 4, 2023
3 - The aircraft has been plagued by a seemingly endless series of bugs, including problems with its stealth coating, sustained supersonic flight, helmet-mounted display, excessive vibration from its cannon, and even vulnerability to being hit by lightning. Jan 12, 2023.
4 - For F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, taxpayers in the United States are paying $12.72 billion.
