And every minute of every day twenty two children under the age of five will die from mainly preventable causes including a lack of adequate food, clean water, and access to basic medicines. Some ways you can say NO to militarism and war.
Militarism is an extraordinarily harmful ideology and is so prevalent it often goes unchallenged.
Militarism is the theory, militarisation and war are the practice - the inevitable outcomes of militarism. The costs of militarism and war around the world are totally unacceptable. Every dollar that is spent by the military, is a dollar taken from taxpayers. It is a dollar which could be used to promote life, not death. Less than nineteen days of global military expenditure is all it would take to meet the additional cost of providing access to adequate food, clean water and safe sewers, basic health care, reproductive health care for women, and basic education for everyone around the world.
