Fund peace not war

Why is this important?

Trump just started another war nobody wants to fight. US and Israel’s illegal attacks on Iran are now quickly escalating. [1]

Everyday people like you and I hold our breath. But for every bomb dropped, there are those who cash in. 

Because the business of war is SUPER profitable. And business is booming.

Only one European leader has condemned the attacks on Iran. [2] The rest have either said they’d join the US or have actively been preparing for war for months now. [3]

And they have been pouring money into the military. Building more tanks than trains, and more ammunition than ambulances [4] France has already reinstated voluntary military service. Other countries are openly discussing it. [5]

Every euro spent on the business of war is a euro less on healthcare, schools and decent jobs. [6] Widening the gap between those of us who pay, and those who profit. 

But there is another path our leaders could take. Condemn violence. Defend international law. Leave Iran to the Iranians. And invest in healthcare, pensions, affordable and safe food instead.

More than a decade ago, millions of people across Europe refused to stay silent as leaders marched toward war. Now it’s our turn. Let’s build the biggest pro-peace movement in a generation. Add your name to join people across Europe demanding protection for people not profit for warmongerers.
