No Increase in Military Spending - Join the Campaign
Posted: 25th November 2020
Newsletter – 25/11/20
The decision to increase military spending by £24 billion over four years during a pandemic and a huge financial slump has to be one of the most brutal and inhumane economic choices on record.
Key workers who were being clapped by ministers just months ago are having wages frozen and desperately overstretched hospitals and care homes are having to make do with a few billion in the middle of the deadly COVID-19 crisis. The uplift to universal credit is being scrapped in April and yet billions are pledged to develop new technologies of war including rockets in space.
Stop the War is urging all our supporters to protest as strongly as possible. Here’s some things you can do…
- Sign and share the online petition here.
- Share the graphics above on your social media pages using the hashtags #HealthcareNotWarfare and #FreezeWarNotWages (FB, Twitter & Instagram sizes in the link).
- to take the petition out to the public when lockdown ends. Please consider organising a public stall to gather petitions in your town centre or high street.
