The organization Canadian Voice of Women for Peace supported the GDAMS 2023 campaign on Instagram:
“We, at VOW, support the Global Days of Action on Military Spending, and call on the Canadian Government to reduce military spending and prioritize decarbonization and peace. This year of war in Ukraine has meant a huge boost for militarism and military budgets across the world, especially in countries of the Global North.

The 12th edition of the Global Days of Action on Military Spending will take place from April 13 to May 9, 2023. Join us protesting military budgets & warmongering, and take action for peace & justice!
These dates include:
• April 18: Tax Day in the USA

• May 9: Europe’s Day of Peace · Actions against the militarization of the EU”
