Video: Peace Makes Us Safe
There is a profound misconception amongst our elected leaders that military might makes the people in our country and around the world safe, but while a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget and a massive stockpile of nuclear weapons may make the United States strong, it does not make us safe.
That’s why I vow to always stand for peace by fighting to restore Donald Trump’s cuts of USAID, demanding we re-enter international treaties to reduce the global stockpile of nuclear weapons, and introducing legislation to strip Donald Trump (or any US President) from sole authority to launch a nuclear strike.
Op-Ed: Nobody voted for war
I have spent my career studying the consequences of U.S. military action. I teach about international conflict and diplomacy. I have lived in communities still scarred by the legacy of U.S. nuclear testing. I do not romanticize war or underestimate how quickly “major combat operations” can become a global catastrophe.
