You are invited to join CODEPINK CONGRESS, our new campaign to mobilize co-sponsors and votes for peace legislation!
RSVP Now!


Featuring
 
Special guest co-hosts Maryam Guerrab and Miguel Flores of the CODEPINK Peace Collective

Featured Speakers:

Natalia Cardona, associate director for justice and equity at 350.org, will discuss the imperative of demilitarizing the response to the climate crisis.

Garett Reppenhagen, executive director of Veterans For Peace, will talk about the group’s new climate crisis/militarism working group and its emphasis on the Pentagon as the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases.

As we approach Earth Day, let us reframe the climate discussion to encourage our progressive allies, as well as President Biden and world leaders attending the Biden climate summit, to put militarism on the climate agenda. It is time military carbon emissions were included in all climate data.

Join us as we ask our Congress members to be good stewards of the environment by publicly opposing Biden’s $753 billion military budget.

We've got the signs, just show up!

The world’s biggest 60 banks have provided $3.8tn of financing for fossil fuel companies since the Paris climate deal in 2015, according to a report by a coalition of NGOs.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic cutting energy use, overall funding remains on an upward trend and the finance provided in 2020 was higher than in 2016 or 2017, a fact the report’s authors and others described as “shocking”. The Guardian, March 24, 2021
