Fund Our Communities, Bring the War Dollars Home is a coalition of community groups in Maryland. It is part of a growing nationwide movement to cut military spending and fund domestic needs. Help fix the crisis of priorities in Washington and Annapolis. The U.S. has the resources; what we need is the political will to:

• Put Americans back to work.
• Institute a fair and progressive tax system.
• Protect Americans’ health and save the environment.
• Preserve Social Security.
• Reduce the Pentagon budget.
• Bring all the troops & military contractors home.

We can and must shift the debate!
Join us to organize for real, progressive solutions!

Panel: US Rep. Donna Edwards, MD State Senator Roger Manno, Economist Heather Boushey, IPS Fellow Karen Dolan. Moderator, NAACP’s Elbridge James

The question and answer session will be followed by a breakout into action groups.
