On Saturday, April 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., the Walpole Peace and Justice Group will hold a Tax Day Rally for Peace and Economic Justice at the Gazebo on the Walpole Common. Rally speakers will address the destructive consequences of exorbitant military spending at the expense of human needs.
A 40-foot budget banner will be displayed, showing where the Federal discretionary budget is spent today. Representatives from local organizations will speak at 10:30 a.m. This rally is open to the public.
The rally will support the Global Campaign on Military Spending. The aim of the campaign is to push governments to invest money in the sectors of health, education, employment and climate change rather than military.
The Walpole Peace and Justice Group, founded in 1982, is a group of citizens committed to promoting peace and justice in the community and the larger world through education, study, witness, advocacy, and action. For more information, contact info@walpolepeace.org.
