Did you know that the U.S. Military is the world’s largest consumer of carbon and causes more pollution than 140 countries combined? Yet 64% of our discretionary budget is siphoned off to the Pentagon every year and weapons manufacturers continue to place their short term profit above the future of our planet. Funding endless war is an existential threat to human life- that’s why we need to divest from war and invest in a Green New Deal!
On September 20th, young people across America are leading an intergenerational strike to demand that our government take serious action on the climate crisis. Join local CODEPINK activists around the country to mobilize in solidarity with the global climate strike. We’re joining young climate activists to strike for a future where human needs are placed before the corporate greed of weapons manufacturers!
