June is Pride Month, and while it is celebrated worldwide, the increasing anti-trans and LGBTQ+ hate continues to be a concern. In this episode, we will explore the intersection of queer liberation and anti-militarism.

If you're in Washington D.C., join CODEPINK and partners as we march in the Capitol Pride Parade on June 10th. If you're not, bring anti-militarism messaging to a Pride Month event happening near you!

In this week's episode, CODEPINK Congress Coordinator Marcy Winograd interviews economist, public
policy analyst and prolific author Jeffrey Sachs on how the bloated military budget drives the debt
crisis. Sachs estimates US debt at $24-trillion dollars, much of it the result of US wars in Iraq, Afghanistan
and Ukraine, as well the maintenance of 800 military bases abroad, development of new weapons systems
and a nuclear rearmament program in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which the US
ratified over 50 years ago. Sachs says no to NATO expansion and warns the US must seek a ceasefire in Ukraine
and not start another proxy war with China over Taiwan. Peace is the path forward, according to Sachs.

This includes candidates of the Movement for the Liberation of Peoples grassroots political party.
