U.S. Conference of Mayors Passes Resolutions Calling on Military Increases to Fund U.S. Cities

HeadlineJun 27, 2017

The U.S. Conference of Mayors has unanimously passed three resolutions denouncing President Trump’s budget and calling on him to reallocate the proposed military spending increases to instead help U.S. cities. Trump’s proposed 2018 budget calls for an unprecedented $54 billion increase in military spending. The resolutions call on some of this money to be reallocated to fund environmental, health, housing and antipoverty programs, as well as international diplomacy aimed at reducing the threat of nuclear war.
