Faith Groups Urge Congress to Reject $1.15 Trillion Pentagon Budget
Original: Faith Communities Urge Congress to Oppose the $1.15 Trillion Pentagon Budget
Faith communities, led by the Quaker lobbying organization the Friends Committee on National Legislation, are calling on Congress to oppose a Pentagon budget of $1.15 trillion. The coalition frames the request as excessive and argues the money would be better spent on human needs. The appeal comes as lawmakers begin weighing the annual defense authorization and appropriations bills.
Why now: Congress is currently debating the next Pentagon budget, prompting advocacy groups to mobilize opposition to its record size.
