We’re not the only ones who think Trump’s whopping 44% Pentagon budget increase is a non-starter, Pamela...
An unprecedented 25 members of the House Armed Services Committee just voted for an amendment to CUT the Pentagon budget by $150 billion in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). On the Senate side, concerns over Trump’s proposed $1.5 trillion for weapons and war pushed 9 members to refuse to advance the must-pass bill altogether.
It’s a "stunning" level of opposition — and it’s opened up a once-in-a-generation chance to CUT the Pentagon budget and fund the programs that keep people safe.[1] We’re going all in. As crowds flock to DC to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary this summer, we’re launching a multi-pronged campaign to get our priorities back in order.
Mobilizing grassroots activists to send tens of thousands of messages to congressional offices with demands to reject $1.5T for bombs and bloodshed. Holding Hill briefings, meetings, and directly lobbying lawmakers, urging them to take up this winnable fight. Planning high-visibility ads, billboards, and supporting in-person mobilizations to force decision-makers, reporters, and visitors from across the country to reckon with the true costs of Trump’s unjustifiable Pentagon budget.

For decades, we’ve been told the same old story: Our government finds seemingly limitless funds for weapons and war, while telling us there’s not enough money for healthcare, child care, education, and more of the services that can help people thrive.
But here’s what gives us hope: there’s never been more momentum to rewrite our story. Right now, a growing coalition in Congress is challenging the assumption that the Pentagon should get whatever it asks for, or even more, while families struggle — and opportunities to flex their power are coming up fast.
Whether it’s voting on legislation like Sen. Ed Markey’s Slash the Pentagon Act, which would cut Trump’s proposed Pentagon budget in HALF, speaking out against the horrific costs of Trump’s wars during the NDAA floor votes, or derailing the upcoming Appropriations process, we’ll make each moment count.
Our job at Win Without War is to make sure lawmakers seize every chance to say NO to trillions of taxpayer dollars towards violence, Pentagon waste, and weapons contractor payouts.
While Trump uses parades, speeches, and fanfare to distract people from the consequences of his violence-first policies, we know weapons lobbyists will be working overtime behind the scenes to keep the dollars flowing. That’s why this summer we’ll be working harder than ever to offer a different idea of patriotism — one where people demand a government that stops wasting taxpayer dollars to build bombs and weapons and wage war.
Millions across the country are struggling to pay for groceries, fill up the gas tank, and make rent, and we know not everyone is in a position to donate right now. So, only if you’re able, please consider helping make this campaign possible.
Thank you for working for peace,
The Win Without War team
