Our Mission:
The Climate Crisis and Militarism Project of Veterans For Peace is part of the world-wide movement to mitigate the climate crisis and promote peace and justice (climate, racial and economic).
As educators and activists, we focus on US militarism’s damage to the climate:
-
its vast and largely unreported greenhouse gas emissions
-
its role as military protection for oil corporations
-
its squandering of trillions needed for addressing climate and people’s needs
-
its promotion of war – a human, climate and environmental disaster
