The Detroit City Council recently passed a resolution urging Congress and President Biden to reallocate significant portions of the federal military budget toward funding essential social services. Spearheaded by Council Member Mary Waters, the resolution highlights the disproportionate spending on defense compared to domestic needs, underscoring that reallocating funds could address critical issues like education, healthcare, and housing.
The resolution is supported by local and national advocacy groups and echoes past calls for federal budget reforms that prioritize community welfare over military expenditures.
