President Trump is requesting even more money for the disastrous U.S.-Israeli war on Iran that has killed and displaced millions of civilians, despite Congress voting to block further military aggression. The new war supplemental is in addition to the historic $1.5 trillion budget that Trump has already requested for the Pentagon for FY 2027, the highest proposed Pentagon budget on record.  

The proposed $87.6 billion supplemental would hand $67 billion directly to the Pentagon, including $21 billion to restock munitions like those the U.S. military used to kill 170 teachers and children at an Iranian elementary school in February. It also includes $2 billion for the Coast Guard to support the Department of War’s violence in Iran and in the Western Hemisphere, where the U.S. military continues to conduct illegal strikes on unarmed vessels. These funds could also be used to support the militarization of the Southern Border as part of Trump’s deeply unpopular and inhumane mass detention and deportation campaign.

The massive human and financial costs of Trump’s wars are already hurting working people at home and globally, and will continue to climb for years to come. Trump has already boosted the Pentagon’s budget over $1 trillion - more than they can even manage to spend this year - while cutting food aid and critical health services to millions of families. Now the President and his MAGA allies want to shift even more taxpayer dollars away from working families to fund their wars during the worst affordability crisis in recent history. 

The $88 billion Trump is requesting for endless war to profit weapons contractors and his cabal of corporate cronies should be helping people instead. This harmful and unnecessary war supplemental could pay for all of the following in FY 2027: 

• Restore ACA healthcare subsidies to save millions of families from devastating insurance premium increases and loss of healthcare ($35 billion); AND

• Adequately fund veterans' medical care ($18.81 billion); AND

• Restore SNAP benefits that were cut under HR 1 ($18.6 billion); AND 

• Double the EPA’s budget to protect clean air and water and clean up toxic Superfund sites ($8.8 billion); AND

• Provide free school lunch to all participating children ($6.38 billion).

Our tax dollars should be supporting families at home, not bombing them abroad. We are proud to stand with more than 250 groups across the country urging members of Congress to vote against any additional funding for President Trump’s unconstitutional and immoral wars. Contact your elected officials and let them know they should: 1) Oppose this $88 billion supplemental request and 2) vote NO on any more money for war and weapons.
