It seems impossible until it’s done

Speaking of struggles and wins, Nelson Mandela once said ‘It seems impossible until it’s done’. And as Martin Luther King pointed out, power doesn’t surrender itself – it has to be taken.

We know, in history, so many struggles have taken decades to reach their goal. But, for all that, wins do come.

We want excessive, runaway military spending to be put in this same spotlight. We need a major civil society effort to address this tough issue – with all its vested interests – head on.

The short video below puts this new campaign proposal in context.
