The 15th Global Days of Action on Military Spending (#GDAMS) will take place from April 10 to May 9, 2026, in which will be the most relevant edition yet. We'll take action to oppose war and demand major cuts of military spending, while promoting alternatives. Will you join us?☮️

Global #MilitarySpending is rocketing 🚀 Global social spending is not 📉 The latest damning #SIPRI report is here ➡️ betterworld.info/military/milit… - Follow us and share 📢 🔶 The annual Military Expenditure Report reveals that we are now spending an unprecedented $2.9 TRILLION a year on armed forces, weapons, equipment, defence ministries, and military aid 🚨 The release of the report coincides with the #GDAMs campaign, organised by @DemilitarizeDay and the @IntlPeaceBureau This year marks 11 consecutive years of growth and a 2.9% increase from the year before. The U.S. once again is by far the biggest spender. As healthcare, education, and social budgets shrink, it is high time the world seriously reassessed its priorities. The world does not become safer the more we build up armies with advanced weapons to ‘protect’ ourselves; the result is quite the opposite. Photo: David Holt | CC BY 2.0
