SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, April 15, 2017, 10:00 AM, Walpole Common: Tax Day Rally – Redirect Military Spending to Fund Human Needs. The Walpole Peace and Justice Group will hold a rally on April 15, joining with the Global Campaign on Military Spending and the Tax Day 2017 Mobilization in calling for our federal government to redirect military spending to fund human needs and to stop military interventions. We call for:
· President Trump to release his tax returns
· Stopping the new “big, big” tax cuts for corporations and the 1%
· Opposing President Trump’s “Death Budget” released on March 16
· Re-directing money from the Pentagon to families and climate protection
· Supporting the Peoples Budget in Congress
The Pentagon’s budget equals the combined total of the next eight largest military spenders, including China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, the United Kingdom, and India! We will have a 40 foot budget banner that shows where the Federal discretionary budget is spent today. We will also have a couple of brief speeches and will pass out an informational leaflet urging people to call our U.S. Senators and Representatives. We may also have some drummers!
