@natpriorities @lindsaykosh "Pentagon contractors want us to think we need what they’re selling," writes @lindsaykosh in @PittsburghPG. "Spread the word: every taxpayer deserves better." post-gazette.com/opinion/Op-Ed/…
The typical U.S. taxpayer paid $1,759 for defense contractors — and $110 for the Child Tax Credit. "Lifting kids out of poverty can have lifelong effects," says @natpriorities researcher @lindsaykosh. "Isn’t that worth more than a fraction of our military contracts?"
In 2023, the average American paid more to Pentagon contractors like Lockheed Martin than they pay for a month's rent. This Thursday, join @lindsaykosh and @alliyahlusuegro of @natpriorities to learn where your taxes went — and what else they could fund: ips-dc.org/events/briefin…
#MilitaryExpenditure increased in every world region in 2023, reaching a total of $2443 billion. This was 6.8% more, in real terms, than in 2022—the steepest year-on-year increase since 2009. Find out more ➡️bit.ly/3w5FW8p Fact Sheet ➡️ doi.org/10.55163/BQGA2…

🌍World military expenditure rose by 6.8% to $2443 billion in 2023, the highest level ever recorded by SIPRI. In 2023 #MilitarySpending increased in all five geographical regions for the first time since 2009. Find out more ➡️ bit.ly/3w5FW8p
An extra $95,000,000,000 for war and related spending on top of the Pentagon's budget for this year at $886,000,000,000. We could use that money to seriously consider long-term solutions to peace and safety, including the climate crisis.
What if we had governments and communities that center care and responsibility instead of deterrence and aggression? writes @alliyahlusuegro. commondreams.org/opinion/us-hou…
In the last year, the average U.S. taxpayer paid $1,748 to weapons contractors like Lockheed Martin. Much of that sum, points out @WilliamHartung in @thehill, is "wasted on cost overruns and performance problems, and, in some cases, outright fraud." thehill.com/opinion/459419…
This month, @natpriorities calculated that the average U.S. taxpayer contributed more than $3,700 for the Pentagon and war for 2023, but only $11 for renewable energy and energy efficiency. What could it look like if we switched these priorities?
In a new piece this week, @alliyahlusuegro of @natpriorities looks into the $95 billion war spending package just passed by the House, rising global militarism spending, and how we can build a different path forward: nationalpriorities.org/blog/2024/04/2…
💸 You paid taxes for the last year. Do you know where that money went? 📅 Next Thursday, join @lindsaykosh and @alliyahlusuegro of our @natpriorities team for an eye-opening breakdown on what each of our taxes are funding. 👉 Register now: ips-dc.org/events/briefin…
Global military spending has reached 2.4 trillion, increased a 39.4% in the last 10 years, and doubled since 2001 (1.2 t $), when the "War on Terror'' started. The upward trend is clear, despite how enemies (and excuses) have changed during this time. #WarCostsUsTheEarth #GDAMS
This past weekend, the House passed $95 billion in war and related spending. This $95 billion could have provided 9.6 million low-income adults AND 16.5 million low-income kids with healthcare. We need to move past an increasingly militarized world and shift to a peaceful one.
Total #MilitaryExpenditure accounted for 2.3 per cent of the global gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023. Full analysis ➡️ doi.org/10.55163/BQGA2…
The future of both climate and war is largely shaped by federal and international spending. Yet, war has received way more dollars than any genuine climate investments. Read more in our latest blog @alliyahlusuegro @natpriorities: nationalpriorities.org/blog/2024/04/2…
Military spending across the world last year reached the highest levels ever recorded by a major global think tank, soaring to $2.4 trillion in 2023, according to a new report. trib.al/e6rEaaI
Over a third of your tax bill is funding weapons and war - averaging more than $5,000 from every U.S. taxpayer. As the headlines over the past week (and beyond) suggest, this militarized mindsight creates dangerous results. Shout out to @natpriorities- winwithoutwar.org/policy/tax-day…

Cutting off funds to the agency best positioned to provide relief to civilians in Gaza facing a human-made crisis of famine, displacement and disease was a mistake that must be urgently corrected. Read the letter from CIP and 100+ NGOs: internationalpolicy.org/publications/l…
NEW: More than 100 refugee, human rights and humanitarian organizations sent a letter demanding Congress and @POTUS Biden reinstate funding to @UNRWA. “Failing to do so would be a moral stain on this Administration and Congress’ legacy,” wrote the groups. huffpost.com/entry/biden-co…
In 2023, the average American paid more to Pentagon contractors like Lockheed Martin than they pay for a month's rent. This Thursday, join @lindsaykosh and @alliyahlusuegro of @natpriorities to learn where your taxes went — and what else they could fund: ips-dc.org/events/briefin…
“What is needed in Ukraine, Israel, and Palestine is peace, not more weapons of war. Congress should be pressing all parties for a ceasefire … Unless we break this cycle of violence, we will never achieve ☮️.” @BridgetMoixFCNL fcnl.org/updates/2024-0…
What if we had governments and communities that center care and responsibility instead of deterrence and aggression? writes @alliyahlusuegro. commondreams.org/opinion/us-hou…
This month, @natpriorities calculated that the average U.S. taxpayer contributed more than $3,700 for the Pentagon and war for 2023, but only $11 for renewable energy and energy efficiency. What could it look like if we switched these priorities?
In a new piece this week, @alliyahlusuegro of @natpriorities looks into the $95 billion war spending package just passed by the House, rising global militarism spending, and how we can build a different path forward: nationalpriorities.org/blog/2024/04/2…

Oh yeah, let's not forget this package is "projecting its values globally." But not always in the way we might think... Numbers from @natpriorities & photo via @nytimes. (5/5)
Over a third of your tax bill is funding weapons and war - averaging more than $5,000 from every U.S. taxpayer. As the headlines over the past week (and beyond) suggest, this militarized mindsight creates dangerous results. Shout out to @natpriorities- winwithoutwar.org/policy/tax-day…
“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
According to @natpriorities, the average U.S. taxpayer gave $5,109 to militarism and its support systems last year.
On #TaxDay we know things don’t have to be as they are, we have enough resources to meet people’s immediate needs. It's time to reprioritize the abundance that exists.
It's time to file taxes, and our annual tax receipt is here! 🧾💸 Check out how much of US average federal income taxes went to militarism: the Pentagon and war, veterans’ programs, deportations and border militarization, and policing and prisons: ips-dc.org/2024-tax-day-r…
If we put more funds into education, we’ll see kids and families better off. If we put more into Pentagon contracts, we’ll see their CEOs and shareholders better off — and more U.S. weapons used in conflicts around the world. More from @natpriorities: ips-dc.org/2024-tax-day-r…
The average taxpayer paid $1,748 for Pentagon contracts, but just $705 for troops’ pay and housing aid. Pay in the Army starts at $24,206 — putting many troops and families on food stamps. Extreme militarism funding doesn't benefit the troops. It benefits weapons CEOs. #TaxDay
The average taxpayer spent $2,974 on the Pentagon in 2023. Over half of that — $1,748 — goes to weapons companies like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. The average American's monthly rent is $1,372.
NEW: The average US taxpayer sent $58 to fund antiwar diplomacy efforts versus $5,109 for militarism and its support systems. This isn't about strategy or safety. It's about lining defense contractors' pockets. @lindsaykosh of @natpriorities in @truthout: truthout.org/articles/how-a…
On April 15th and every day, let's ask Congress to invest in #PeopleOverPentagon. #TaxDay info from @natpriorities Project.
