The City Council of Hamtramck, MI, has passed Resolution 2024-22, known as the "Move the Money" resolution, calling for a significant reallocation of federal funds from the military budget to essential social services. Citing the excessive military spending in the U.S., which surpasses the combined budgets of multiple major nations, the resolution emphasizes the need to address unmet human needs in local communities. The council argues that a reduction in the Pentagon budget could finance vital services like education, healthcare, and environmental protection.
This move aligns with Hamtramck's broader pro-peace stance, demonstrated by its recent actions, including calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and symbolically naming a main street Palestine Avenue.
