Click to add your name to an international youth petition calling for a focus on disarmament to increase spending on development aid and the Millennium Development Goals.

 

 

The Global Youth Network of Religions for Peace is advancing a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution that asks member states to cut military spending by 10% and redirect those funds toward achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The campaign has 4 million signatures and has a goal of 50 million before October 2010.  At end of the campaign, the petition will be presented to the United Nations Secretary General and senior Heads of State.  To support these efforts, Pax Christi International is disseminating the sign-on letter of the Arms Down! campaign for shared security.
