We need to fundamentally shift our priorities in this country away from war and unchecked military spending & towards the urgent human needs of people, families, and communities. Last week, I spoke alongside Mass Peace Action, the Community Alliance for Peace & Justice, and Worcester Multifaith For Palestine to talk about the need to stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran, end U.S. support for genocide in Gaza, and push back against an unprecedented $1.5 trillion defense budget.

McGovern called for shifting U.S. priorities away from war and military spending and toward human needs, including stopping the Iran war, ending U.S. support for genocide in Gaza, and opposing a $1.5 trillion defense budget.
