Peace & Justice Action League of Spokane
“The Peace & Justice Action League of Spokane (PJALS) organized a
GDAMS event to distribute literature and collect signatures for their
Bring Our Billion$ Home campaign. Volunteers distributed information
from the SIPRI report as well as on the costs of war and the trade-offs
for Washington State’s 5th Congressional District. This information was
given to 100 individuals with 60 of them following up with endorsements
for our Bring Our Billion$ Home campaign, which calls for the US to end
war, occupation, and military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq; reduce
the Pentagon budget; and shift spending to job creation, education,
health care, affordable housing, environmental protection, an effective
social safety net, infrastructure, new technologies, defense of Social
Security and Medicare from threatened cuts and other efforts that
enhance the common good of our society.”
