This extraordinary spending not only detracts from our ability to address pressing social problems but compels us into foreign wars to justify our vast arsenal. Sold to us in the name of “security,” our military industrial complex actually makes us far less safe. Top policy experts William D. Hartung and Ben Freeman will discuss their new book The Trillion Dollar War Machine, which follows the profits of militarism from traditional Pentagon contractors, who receive more than half of the Pentagon’s budget, to the upstart high-tech firms that shamelessly promote unproven and destabilizing technologies. The Trillion Dollar War Machine shows who is pulling the strings and pushing for war, and offers a blueprint for how we can shut down the war machine and restore American security and prosperity. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://secure.everyaction.com/7cR7gtXz40m9mhQAleZXlA2">https://secure.everyaction.com/7cR7gtXz40m9mhQAleZXlA2</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'>The Buck Starts Here!

As the government pushes military spending toward $150 billion a year, Canadians are facing the real crises of climate chaos, soaring living costs, and deepening inequality. Avi’s vision is a Canadian Green New Deal: a 10-year mobilization to create millions of good union jobs, build clean local industries and food systems, launch a Youth Climate Corps, expand community and Indigenous-led renewable energy, and electrify transportation and industry—all while upholding the right to free, prior, and informed consent for Indigenous peoples. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://act.lewisforleader.ca/climate-militarism-a-conversation-about-canada-s-future">https://act.lewisforleader.ca/climate-militarism-a-conversation-about-canada-s-future</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'>More Toronto events <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://showuptoronto.ca/">https://showuptoronto.ca/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'>For the best Canadian climate and energy news, visit and subscribe to the Energy Mix newsletter<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://theenergymix.com/">http://theenergymix.com/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'>Democracy Now Daily Show - global peace, justice and enviro news<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/">https://www.democracynow.org/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'>Tooker Tapes Archive Project - Youtube Playlist<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3IwhNn-WrINTQz2fBNayDoBWLW0y59le">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3IwhNn-WrINTQz2fBNayDoBWLW0y59le</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Submissions, subscribes, unsubscribes, and comments: <a href="mailto:angela@cleanairalliance.org">mailto:angela@cleanairalliance.org</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Share this newsletter on social media using this link: <a href="http://greenspiration.org/news-events/">http://greenspiration.org/news-events/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
