SUMMARY:Webinar: U.S. Military Spending and How to Stop It
DESCRIPTION:World BEYOND War invites you to this free Zoom webinar on U.S. military spending and how to stop it. U.S. military spending is twice what we’re ever told and more than the rest of the world’s combined. It’s over three-quarters of proposed discretionary spending and stripping funding from urgent needs. It’s driving a global arms race\, wars\, and the risk of nuclear war. We have the power to reverse its dramatic annual increases.

SUMMARY:Bombs Don't Build Themselves: Who's Arming Israel's Wars?
DESCRIPTION:This Roundtable examines the global arms trade network supplying weapons used against civilians\, tracing supply chains\, transit routes\, and complicit entities. Panelists will unpack international legal frameworks meant to prevent these transfers—including the Arms Trade Treaty and humanitarian law—while assessing enforcement failures.
