Don't spend $100 billion on new nuclear weapons!
.jpg){kind=spacer}
Donald Trump was quietly planning to spend $100 billion in funding for a new nuclear weapons system. Congress should not fund this unsafe, wasteful program and instead put that money toward ending the pandemic and economic recovery.
Why is this important?
The US already has a bloated Pentagon budget. Now the Pentagon wants to spend $100 billion on totally unnecessary nuclear warheads. But with a new president in office, we can finally put a stop to Trump’s misguided nuclear weapon spending.
More nuclear weapons don’t make the planet more safe. Former Defense Secretary William Perry has argued this plan is totally unnecessary. Instead of tossing millions of our taxpayers dollars into unnecessary nuclear weapons and stoking world wars, we should throw the brakes on Trump’s nuclear program and focus on the real war against Covid-19.
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to defund Trump’s $100 billion nuclear weapons system!
