Rally: Global day of action on military spending.

Tuesday, April 12, 2011 - 09:00 to 11:00

In 2009 alone, global military spending rose to an all-time high amount of $1.53 trillion! Because we encounter countless crises in today’s world (poverty, hunger, lack of education, poor health care, environmental issues) it is essential that we come together and create a global movement focusing on what is important: human lives and their needs.

It really is up to us, if not, then who? But we must act now! The rally will coincide with the release of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s (SIPRI) new annual figures on world military expenditures.

Victoria Barracks, 256-310 St Kilda Rd, Southbank.
