Take action today!
Tell Congressto support a Budget for People, Peace and the Planet. 
Cut the bloated military budget - Meet dire needs at home - Reinvest in our future

On December 13th, Congress will wrap up a vital round of Budget negotiations. They’re poised to further slash already devastated services and programs across the country, while continuing to spend $1 trillion a year on war and militarism. 

After $5 trillion dollars and a decade spent on bloody military excess in the Middle East, with no real gains for democracy, security or stability. Just as the American people said no to the US bombing Syria...
 
- We’re saying enough is enough-

The Green Shadow Cabinethas joined with several organizations to call for a 25%-50% cut to military spending to meet neglected, urgent needs at home, including:
	* Adequately funding critical social needs, including food stamps, Social Security, improved and expanded Medicare for all, and public education including
college,
	* Creating a full employment public jobs program to jump start thegreen economy- making wars for oil obsolete and rescuing our climate future, and
	* Rebuilding vital infrastructure.
In addition, today we’re launching a petition to build public support for a Budget for People, Peace and the Planet, which will be delivered with the open letter to Congress and the White House on the 10th of December. Join the campaign by signing the petition, and join us in Washington DC on the 10th.                
- Sign the petition here-
Thank you.
Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala for the Green Shadow Cabinet
