PAX CHRISTI INTERNATIONAL: Global Day of Action on Military Spending is TODAY!

from Pax Christi International

This year’s Global Day of Action on Military Spending (GDAMS) will be held on 15 April 2013. GDAMS brings groups together to create a global movement to pressure governments to reallocate their defence budgets.

The latest SIPRI report estimated the global military spending in 2011 at $1,738 billion. If reallocated, this amount could address essential human needs and current crises.

More information can be found on the GDAMS website: http://demilitarize.org/

Member Organisations of Pax Christi International are invited to join this campaign. Fr. Paul Lansu is a member of the GDAMS Steering Committee.
