IMAGES FROM KEEP SPACE
FOR PEACE WEEK
October 4-12, 2008
Each fall the
Global Network organizes a week of local actions to help build consciousness
about the need to prevent a new arms race in space. We urge local groups to
hold a protest, show a space video, meet with their member of Congress,
organize a public teach-in, or hand out leaflets on the street about space
issues.
Keep Space
for Peace Week will be co-sponsored by the Women's International League for
Peace & Freedom and Europe for Peace.

This
table demonstrates results of a recent study, which found that public dollars
invested in health care, education, mass transit, or construction for home
weatherization and infrastructure create more jobs than investing an equivalent
amount in the military
(or in tax breaks)
In fact, twice as many jobs are created by equivalent spending on education and
mass transit as on the military. The research was conducted by the Political
Economy Research Institute (PERI) at the University of Massachusetts –
Amherst.
For more information, contact Miriam
Pemberton at IPS (Miriam@ips-dc.org),
or Marie Rietmann of WAND (Rietmann@wand.org).
