Don’t Increase the Defense Department’s Massive Budget

In a rare moment of agreement, Senator Bernie Sanders and Elon Musk have both sounded the alarm on the Pentagon's massive budget. Despite their differences, they share a common ground—calling for cuts to outdated and wasteful military expenditures. 

Senators plan to increase the Pentagon's budget by a staggering $55 billion, surpassing President Biden's request. These funds, intended for military expansion, could further widen the economic divide and shift focus away from crucial social initiatives. 

This isn't just about numbers on a page. It's about where our priorities lie as a society. The Pentagon's repeated audit failures highlight a deeper issue of financial mismanagement, diverting funds that could be used to address economic disparity and uplift marginalized communities.

Sign the petition to oppose escalating military spending and advocate for investments to shift national priorities towards a fairer, more equitable society.
