Anything that puts people first and reduces the power of corporate monopolies would make the world kinder and more peaceful… so bring on this next generation policy reform.
Today, I’m excited to announce the first major policy solution of our campaign: a concrete plan to break the power of corporate monopolies and build the next generation of public options.

War and militarism only benefits the billionaires—the rest of us are just cannon fodder, one way or another.
Over half of Trump’s proposed $1 trillion military budget would go to private arms contractors—transferring public wealth to CEOs and shareholders. Just 4 firms could receive 26% of those funds, funneling over $100B into buybacks & dividends paid by YOU. buff.ly/E2gYxeI

Women in the military are validating toxic masculinity even as they are being victimized by it.
7% of women in the British armed forces say they experienced sexualised behaviour in just ONE year. This is what happens in institutions built on coercion, secrecy, and unchecked power.
Latest British Armed Forces survey reveals the scale of sexualised misconduct: 67 per cent of female regular personnel said they had experienced at least one sexualised behaviour in the previous year - AOAV

At #COP30, leaders talk net zero, while wars go uncounted. Gaza’s rubble could take 40 years to clear, releasing 66,000+ tonnes of CO₂. Ukraine’s war has already emitted more than Austria in a year. The climate can’t afford militarism! buff.ly/P0LL8O9 #NoWarNoWarming
How wars ravage the environment – and what international law is doing about it
International law is starting to reflect a growing global consensus on the need to recognise the climate effects of armed conflicts.

Despite a declared ceasefire, Gaza receives only 15% of its water needs. Israeli attacks have destroyed wells, and fuel restrictions are crippling water infrastructure.
