'FUND HUMAN NEEDS, NOT WAR"!!! ..........

This fiscal year, our government misdirected nearly $900,000,000,000 ($900B) tax dollars to militarism - including the initial installment on a $1,700,000,000,000 ($1.7T) nuclear weapons replacement arsenal, land mines, cluster bombs, weapons shipments that continue fueling hot wars, and staffing an absurd 800+ military bases worldwide. This  is NOT making anybody more secure; it holds us all hostage to the whims of a few politicians and generals who live in a fantasyland of brinksmanship while the nuclear Sword of Damocles hangs over all of our heads by the very thinnest thread, threatening to end virtually all life on this planet. WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER!

Real security, real peace, comes when people have adequate shelter, safe food, clean water and air, affordable health care, accessible education & useful employment.  For 42 years, Marian House has worked holistically to transform at-risk women's lives into self-respecting independent testimonies to the power of community addressing problems together.  This is an exceptional program with a proven methodology and hugely successful track record.  Help enable Marian House to continue to scale up its operations without compromising its goals! 

"IT'LL BE A GREAT DAY WHEN HUMAN NEEDS ARE FULLY FUNDED AND THE MILITARY HAS TO HAVE A BAKE SALE  - OR A 5K RUN/WALK FUNDRAISER - TO BUY A BATTLESHIP!"

Your generosity has propelled us way past our original team goal of $2,024.  Now we wonder: will we together set a new all-time Team record & raise the challenge bar for future Marian House teams?!?

Whatever you can give, know that both Marian House and we appreciate YOU!  THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
