📅 Nuclear Disarmament ☢️ $82 Billion on Nuclear Weapons? That’s Insanity, Not Security. It’s time to ask: Are we building peace, or preparing for annihilation? We say: Ban the bomb. Fund the people. #GDAMS2025 #BanNuclearWeapons #HumanSecurityNow

We held a stall with the Leeds Food Not Bombs group for #GDAMS2025 to raise awareness about the lunacy that our government increased military spending by £2.2 billion in April. Meanwhile, the government is also making devastating cuts to vital! @gcomsuk.bsky.social @demilitarizeday.bsky.social

Just last year's increase in military spending ($ 275bn over 2023) could finance the climate adaptation for the most at-risk countries. Or end global hunger. Or close the global education + healthcare financing gaps. It's not a matter of resources, but of priorities. #GDAMS @tninstitute.bsky.social

Don't miss tomorrow Wed 7/05, 5.30pm (CEST) this @_ENAAT & @RetePaceDisarmo webinar to discuss EU ReArm plans, why #EuropeanDefence will not lead to peace & how to mobilise against European militarisation. 📺 Live on Facebook & YouTube 👇 fb.me/e/iGECJXvCD www.youtube.com/live/v5_wNTs... #GDAMS

📅 Peacebuilding Works 🕊Peace isn’t just idealistic — it’s cost-effective, sustainable, and transformative. One of the alternatives for militaristic security is Common Security. We need to fund peace like our lives depend on it — because they do. #GDAMS2025 #InvestInPeace #PeaceWorks

We must redirect public funds toward peace, justice, and sustainability. 📰 Read our latest article on Pressenza: 🔗English - www.pressenza.com/2025/05/reco... 🔗German - www.pressenza.com/de/2025/05/r... #GDAMS2025 #MilitarySpending #StopTheArmsRace #DisarmForPeace #PeaceEconomy

📅 The True Cost of Militarism 💣 War is Expensive. Peace is Underfunded. 🚨 In 2024, global military spending reached $2.7 trillion—a 9.4% increase from last year and nearly 20% higher than three years ago (SIPRI).

Israeli military spending increased by 65% in 2024 according to @sipri.org and had the largest year-on-year % increase in the world, all amid its ongoing genocide & occupation of Palestine. 👉🏼 USA and Germany were the main countries exporting arms to Israel between 2020-2024. #GDAMS #StopTheGenocide

The latest figures from @sipri.org show global military spending has reached $2.7 trillion, a 9.4% increase over 2023-24, and an almost 20% increase in just three years. UK banks: Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Natwest and Standard Chartered are still investing billions into nuclear weapons.

NATO members account for 55% of total global military spending, amounting to $1.5 trillion. That is 4.5 and 10 times what China and Russia spend, respectively. How much more should NATO spend to deter its ‘rivals’? Data by @sipri.org #GDAMS demilitarize.org/media_news/t...

Military budgets soared in 2024. Europe rearmed, NATO expanded, and the arms race intensified. Each increase is sold as "protection," but history shows escalation fuels only more violence, not safety!

Defending Earth requires demilitarizing. For at least 4 reasons: 1️⃣ Emissions from the military sector contribute directly to global warming. 2️⃣ Military security systems guarantee the extraction and supply of oil, gas & natural resources that also worsen the climate crisis. 👇 (1/2)
