John,
Colonial violence is at the root of a three-front global crisis: global inequality, climate devastation, and constant conflict.
The U.S. and the Global North have a clear opportunity to invest in climate solutions that benefit us all. But instead of investing in climate solutions, the U.S. government aims to spend nearly $1 trillion this year on the Pentagon budget alone.
John, our fight for a safe, livable planet starts by understanding the deep relationships between colonialism, militarism, and the climate crisis.
On Tuesday’s webinar, Margaret Kwateng from Grassroots Global Justice Alliance will moderate a must-watch panel between Aisha Mansour from Honor the Earth, Monaeka “Naek” Flores from Pruheti Litekyan: Save Ritidian, and Maurice Carney from Friends of the Congo.
Together, we will talk about the ongoing militarization in the Middle East, the Pacific, and on the African continent. We’ll assess why environmental justice is key to our collective security and how we can best align with resisting Indigenous communities at the frontline of this climate crisis.
This event is co-hosted by 350 US International Solidarity Working Group and the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies as part of the Global Week of Action for Peace and Climate Justice.
Together,
Team 350
