While everyday workers are struggling to survive, the Senate is considering giving the Pentagon $30 billion more in funding in the next COVID-19 relief package for fighter jets, helicopters, radars, ships and armored vehicles. We cannot afford to give one more penny to the Pentagon and weapons manufacturers! Instead, we must bail out the 26 million people who have lost their jobs so far, the 9.2 million who have lost their health insurance, and the countless more who will have to choose between paying for rent and groceries.
The next COVID-19 relief package must prioritize funding to address our real threat to peace and security: COVID-19. In the face of a global pandemic, we need to fund healthcare, not the production of weapons that will only exacerbate the worst effects of this ongoing global pandemic. Sign on to CODEPINK’s petition to tell Congress: Bailout people NOT the Pentagon and weapons manufacturers!
