SUMMARY:Walk Against Weapons of War
DESCRIPTION:Walk Against Weapons of War \nSaturday\, June 3\, 2023\, 10:30 am\nComo Lake Pavilion\, 1360 Lexington Pkwy North in St. Paul 55103 \n10:30 AM Volunteer/Walker Check-In\, Como Lake Pavilion\, St Paul\, 1360 Lexington Pkwy North 55103 \nDIRECTIONS to COMO LAKE\n• From the south\, on I-94 exit north on Lexington Parkway. Cross Como Avenue. Lakeside Pavilion parking lot is the next right.\n• From the north\, take 35W South to Hwy 36 East. Turn south on Lexington Ave\, take a left turn into the parking lot south of the Pavilion.\nBus Route: 3 \nWALK SCHEDULE 10:30 AM Check In WAMM Table near the walking path.\n11:00 AM – Walk Begins\n12:00 Noon – Short Rally \nThis years’ walk is dedicated to Marie Braun\, whose tireless efforts contributed to years of successful walks for WAMM. In memorium. \nWalk Against War And The Weapons Of War \nWhat truly constitutes national security? Certainly not endless war or accelerating military buildup. The military budget was $223.43 billion in 1983\, $440.53 billion in 2003\, and is $858 billion in 2023. The U.S. has already spent $113 billion and has made a commitment to an additional $3.075 billion in “security” assistance to Ukraine. The world is suffering greatly\, both environmentally and economically\, from the continuation of the U.S./NATO war in Ukraine. Atmospheric levels of all three main greenhouse gases reached record highs in 2022. The war has disrupted energy markets\, driven a return to coal when use is at an all-time high\, prompted an increase in emissions-intensive arms production and use\, and become an excuse for governments to delay climate action. To protect people and ecosystems from further environmental damage\, we must stop military buildup that can only lead to environmental and human destruction. The legacy of escalating war is death\, havoc\, and environmental calamity. WAMM has repeatedly called for major cuts in the military budget and an end to endless war. However\, the budget continues to grow by leaps and bounds. This bloated budget is unconscionable given the serious problems facing our country and the world. Americans struggle to pay for food\, housing\, and health care. Climate disasters are affecting the entire globe. Let’s put a stop to this madness! \nFFI: 612-827-5364\ngeneral@wamm.me
