The money they have in mind is that which is currently tied up in military activities in Iraq and Afghanistan and in maintaining and developing the UK's nuclear weapons, present and future.
They are calling for a People's Budget for Peace...
Here are some of their questions:
How would YOU spend the money ?
- Would you use it to launch a major housebuilding programme to provide affordable housing for homeless and inadequately housed families ?
- Would you use it to increase spending on health and education and create thousands of new public sector jobs ?
- Would you increase spending on health and education and to create a ground breaking rewable energy industry in Scotland ?
- Would you use it to increase overseas aid and debt relief to tackle poverty across the wor.d ?
What you can do
- Come along to the rally in George Square, Glasgow on Saturday 25 October and tell us how you would spend the money.
- Ask your MP and MSP to vote against Trident replacement and for British withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan
