As wars proliferate, and the planet becomes more polluted and less safe, C02 in
the atmosphere is now the highest it has been for 14 million years.
A report from the Institute for
Policy Studies calculates that the cost of U.S. militarization in the last 20
years is a staggering $21 trillion. Estimates calculate the total cost of
shifting to 100% renewable energy over 10 years would be a fraction of this -
$4.5 trillion.
We have reached a point where the US
and many governments see climate change only as a security issue. Instead of
working to make our lives tolerable under climate change, spending is diverted
to the military and the security apparatus is strengthened.
The US military is the world's
biggest climate change enable

As the world
watches the bombings of homes and hospitals, killing mostly children and women,
the murder of healthcare and aid workers and media, and the denial of basic
necessities to Gazans, civil society has risen in solidarity with Palestine
with major demonstrations, efforts to blockade weapons and other supplies to
Israel and legal cases to stop the genocide and hold individuals accountable.
One expression of this resistance is a new International Coalition to Stop
Genocide in Palestine, which supports the
South African Case in the International Court of Justice against Israel for
Genocide. The Coalition currently has
over 2,000 endorsing organizations from 100 countries.
Webinar
speakers include:
Ajamu
Baraka: National Organizer
of the Black Alliance for Peace and member of the UNAC Administrative
Committee.
Margaret
Flowers, Director of
Popular Resistance and members of the UNAC Administrative Committee for the
United National Antiwar Coalition,
Suzanne Adely, Pres. National Lawyers Guild, US Palestinian Community Network
They will discuss the case against Israel and
the new coalition and actions being planned to support the South African case
against Israel.
