Move Our Money!!!!

from War to Our Communities

Without redirecting resources from military buildup to domestic needs, there’s no way the Biden-Harris administration will be able to fund the large-scale programs urgently needed to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, invest in health care, jobs, infrastructure, education and more. Join us in pushing, on the local and national level.

Check out the 14 policy priorities of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival.

Closest to home: Get the NYC City Council to Take a Stand! NYC City Council Res 747-A calls on the federal government to move significant funds away from the military budget to fund human needs and services, and for in-depth public hearings to be conducted on the dollar amounts that the City needs but that get diverted to the Pentagon.

17 Council-people are co-sponsors. We need 26 for a majority, and 35 for a super-majority to insure that it will pass. Looking at the city’s looming budget shortfall, this is urgent.

Find your Councilperson here. Are they on the list of co-sponsors? Contact them to demand that they put their money where their mouth is, and push to get colleagues to sign on as well. Are they missing from the list? Contact them to urge them to sign on.

Are you looking for a way to make a difference by acting locally while thinking globally? BFP is part of Move the Money–NYC, a city-wide coalition. YOUR participation will make it stronger!

"The banner headline across the top of the New York Times homepage during much of Wednesday proclaimed: "Withdrawal of U.S. Troops in Afghanistan Will End Longest American War." But, buried in the thirty-second paragraph of a story headed "Biden to Withdraw All Combat Troops From Afghanistan by Sept. 11," the Times reported: "Instead of declared troops in Afghanistan, the United States will most likely rely on a shadowy combination of clandestine Special Operations forces, Pentagon contractors and covert intelligence operatives to find and attack the most dangerous Qaeda or Islamic State threats, current and former American officials said."Special Ops, Pentagon contractors and private mercenary armies, drone warfare, funding for war, supplying arms and economic sanctions are all at least as deadly, destructive and economically devastating forms of warfare as troops. We need to learn the language of modern warfare and to challenge the false narrative created by headlines lacking meaning and substance. In this, historically the most violent of nations domestically as well as internationally, have we lost all memory of the meaning of peace? ... See MoreSee Less

"On April 22, 1971, the first anniversary of Earth Day, John Kerry rose to public prominence when he addressed Congress as a representative of anti-war veterans delivering a blistering critique of the Viet Nam War. 50 years later, John Kerry is US Climate Envoy. He needs to address militarism as a major cause of the climate crisis, and to promote redirection of bloated and destructive military expenditures to address the climate crisis and provide for human needs."Brooklyn For Peace is a signatory org on this letter to Kerry, written by Veterans For Peace.
