Mission
To educate and mobilize about the cost of war and militarism as it relates to the Climate Crisis and the increase of greenhouse gases.
Our areas of focus are:
- The unequal burden of both climate change and militarism on people of color and the poor.
- The carbon footprint of the US military, which is larger than that of many countries.
- How the wars for oil and other resources support the fossil fuel-based status quo.
- The enormous financial costs of the US military and its wars, which could be used instead to address the climate emergency.
