John,
The climate crisis is a threat multiplier; whether we’re talking about racial justice, migrant rights, or war, the stakes become unparalleled when also set against the backdrop of an intensifying climate crisis.
Oppressed people across the globe are impacted by the U.S. Government's moral failures at not only ignoring the crisis but also digging its heels into protecting the systems that maintain the disastrous extractive fossil fuel economy.
This fall, we’re pleased to participate in a conversation series hosted by the Power Shift Network to deepen the climate movement’s collective analysis about the U.S. government’s role in upholding imperialist mentalities and protecting its interests by ignoring the climate crisis in the name of profit and hoarding power for the few, to the peril of the rest of us. This series will explore the U.S. Government’s involvement and unregulated support of militarism, immigration, and white nationalism.
Please join us in the first conversation, which will focus on the bloated military budget, the US war machine, and how it impedes us from working towards climate justice.

See you there,
Lorah, Ashik, Lindsay, and the NPP team at IPS
