Cancel the F-35!
Launching a
local/global
effort.
The F-35 is a
weapon of offensive
war, serving no
defensive purpose.
It is planned to
cost the U.S. $1.4
trillion over 50
years. Because
starvation on earth
could be ended for
$30 billion and the
lack of clean
drinking water for
$11 billion per
year, it is first
and foremost through
the wasting of
resources that this
airplane will kill.
We're
launching a global
effort, working
with local
communities to
stop the F-35 by
keeping it out of
any planned basing
locations. Add
your name to the
worldwide
petition here.

Military
spending, contrary
to popular
misconception, also
hurts the U.S.
economy and other
economies. The F-35
causes cognitive
impairment in
children living near
its bases. It
renders housing near
airports unsuitable
for residential use.
It has a high crash
rate and horrible
consequences to
those living in the
area of its crashes.
Its emissions are a
major environmental
polluter. For
documentation of all
of these facts, see
the petition
page.
Wars are
endangering the
United States and
other participants
rather than
protecting them.
Nonviolent tools of
law, diplomacy, aid,
crisis prevention,
and verifiable
nuclear disarmament
should be
substituted for
continuing
counterproductive
wars.Therefore, we,
as signers of this
petition,
call for the
immediate
cancellation of the
F-35 program as a
whole, and the
immediate
cancellation of
plans to base any
such dangerous and
noisy jets near
populated areas. We
oppose replacing the
F-35 with any other
weapon or basing the
F-35 in any other
locations. We
further demand
redirection of the
money for the F-35
back into taxpayers'
pockets, and into
environmental and
human needs in the
U.S., other F-35
customer nations,
and around the
world, including to
fight climate
change, pay off
student debt,
rebuild crumbling
infrastructure, and
improve education,
healthcare, and
housing.![]()
