The Global Day of Action on Military Spending 2015 is on 13 April.
It is a scandal that 1 in 4 children in the UK grow up in poverty. It is outrageous that thirteen times more people are relying on foodbanks to survive than did five years ago.
It is all the more scandalous when you realise that the UK’s military spending is among the highest in the world – more than £38,000 million in 2014.
It’s time to shift priorities. Take action with people across the world to challenge military spending on the Global Day of Action – 13 April 2015.
Vote for your priorities for a safer world now and find ideas for how to plan an action in your local community.
Take the 1 minute survey to decide how you would spend the £38 billion which the UK currently spends in the military.
