Don't break our hearts

What social program is most important to you? Will your heart break if the U.S. slashes its funding in order to continue to pay for a bloated Pentagon budget?

AFSC staff and volunteers from all over the country are sending valentine messages to President Obama and Congress: “Don’t break our hearts! Cut Pentagon spending, not the programs we love.”

You, too, can submit a photo of how your heart would be broken if we continue to invest in excessive militarism over vital social programs.

Use the "Invest in People, not the Pentagon" action toolkit to make the most of these opportunities to influence the conversation on Pentagon cuts and our national budget priorities.
