In the United States today…
We have a ~$2 Trillion Dollar Plan to enhance our entire nuclear weapons arsenal
But we only have a ~$40 billion plan to tackle climate change?
We spend nearly $1 Trillion dollars annually on our military budget, more than the next 10 countries combined
But we have the worst healthcare outcomes in the developed world?
Washington State alone contributes $2,456,789,661 in taxes to our nuclear arsenal every year, while spending less than half of that to address the housing crisis. Does this make us safer?
What could we use this money for instead?
Tax Day to Earth Day is fundamentally about highlighting the needs of our communities while educating the public on the extreme levels of waste occurring every day, and every year on our nation’s addiction to militarism. It’s about rebalancing our priorities and creating a movement to move the money, starting at the local level. Events are themed around exposing the waste at the federal level and demanding what our communities are being denied.

Good news! We have the money to solve many of Washington’s most pressing issues. We just need to move it from weapons of mass destruction to tools of earthcare and shared prosperity.
