<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The US military consumes over 50% of our national budget. With more than 700 bases girdling the globe, the U.S. foreign policy of endless war has wreaked havoc on people around the world as we see today in the ongoing occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan and U.S. support for the occupation of Palestine. To maintain a nuclear umbrella of intimidation, war makers continue to build new generations of expensive weapons that risk nuclear annihilation. Chronic war or threat of war ensures that ruling elites benefit while ensuring that succeeding generations of the world's people are impoverished. We must stop this madness!</p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>The peace and anti-war movements cannot stop it alone. UJP is working with labor, civil rights, immigrant rights and other groups to take action to build a peoples' movement.</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The NAACP, SEIU 1199, Green for All, National Council of La Raza, US Student Association, and the Center for Community Change have called on the progressive movement to unite and join them on October 2 in Washington DC. In Boston, SEIU 1199, Jobs with Justice, and NAACP are in the forefront.</p>
