Prosperity Not Austerity Tour

While our community services struggle for funding and so many desperately need jobs, 58% of the U.S. government’s discretionary budget goes to the Pentagon. Most of this huge budget is both unnecessary and wasteful. At this stop on a bus caravan from Baltimore to DC, hear MD Del. Eric Luedtke; Dave Kunes, president of the Young Democrats of Montgomery County; Bob Piersma, Board President, Hughes Neighborhood Housing; and Rev. Kenneth Hawes, Hughes United Methodist Church talk about how the federal budget debate is affecting your community. The tour is brought to you by Progressive Maryland and the Maryland Coalition to Fund Our Communities, Not the Pentagon.
