Purpose: to bring veterans, labor unions and other worker organizations together around a program to cut the Pentagon budget and move the money to address the climate crisis, fund human needs, create good family-supporting jobs, and last but not least, expose how corporate rule is against the interests of labor, peaceful resolution of conflict, and the planet.

Goal: to encourage unions and other worker organizations to endorse the principle of reprioritizing national priorities by cutting the Pentagon budget to meet domestic needs, and specifically to endorse Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s bill H.R. 1134 called “People Over Pentagon Act of 2023”, which would cut the Pentagon budget by $100 billion.
