This week peace activists around the planet are participating in events to protest the military budgets that wreak destruction and rob human needs programs. Join the Global Days of Action on Military Spending (GDAMS), April 18-28, in your community. We must act boldly to help our neighbors recognize how badly the world is overarmed and peace is underfunded.
Host or participate in an event in your community. Unite around new priorities, protest the war-economy, and promote policies based on peace, diplomacy, and funding human needs. This year’s Global Days of Action on Military Spending span U.S. tax day (April 18) to the release of the annual world military expenditure figures by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) (April 28).
