We support condemning the crackdown on peace activists, journalists, lawyers, trade unionists, feminists, and human rights defenders in Türkiye ahead of the NATO Summit. We refuse to be intimidated.

We call for a full explanation from the Turkish & German authorities regarding these actions & urge all NATO member states to publicly condemn the mistreatment of peaceful & democratic activists. Today,as always,we say no to the undemocratic & rights-violating NATO,& yes to global peace & justice.

A new breakdown reveals the Iran War has likely already cost $72 billion in its first 60 days — nearly triple what officials reported. From expensive munitions to undercounted losses, this is what they’re not telling you about the price tag of conflict. 🇺🇸💸 #gdams #gcoms

In 2025, the world spent $2.9 trillion on the military, according to SIPRI. We urge governments to undertake major reductions to their military expenditure and redirect those funds to social and environmental sectors, tackling the global challenges of our time, and funding human security.
