Militarism Fuels Climate Crisis!
Earlier this month, world leaders convened in Egypt for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) to make speeches about the importance of addressing the climate crisis. We knew the US delegation would show up prepared to leverage its economic, political, and military might to push forward an agenda that preserves the military industrial complex and the interests of US corporations.
As a counterweight, VFP members and allies planned actions on the ground in many US cities during these meetings, undermining the hard-nosed and regressive positions of the United States’ formal delegation to the summit. We called on the US Government to live up to its rhetoric by disclosing the carbon impacts of military operations and taking meaningful action to address the climate crisis. We will continue to take bold direct actions in cities across the US until we can convince the public of the link between militarism and the climate crisis.
