Ending all wars means closing all military bases. The United States of America, unlike any other nation, maintains a massive network of foreign military bases around the world, over 900 bases in more than 90 countries and territories.
Join CODEPINK and World Beyond War virtually – or in-person in DC for the third day of the #NoWar2024 Conference to learn about the impact of the USA’s military base empire and how to resist it. The conference concludes in Washington, DC, the heart of the U.S. military base empire.
CODEPINK's China is Not Our Enemy Campaigner, Megan Russell, will be featured in Session 2 of Sunday:
Session 2: Toxic Impacts of Empire: Linking Environmental Justice & Anti-War Movements
Session 2 explores the environmental impact of U.S. military bases at home and abroad, including the extent of PFAS contamination at bases around the world. We examine the ways in which the anti-war and environmental justice movements are interconnected and how activists are taking action to close bases and redirect resources towards environmental protection. Featuring:
- Kazuyuki "Kaz" Nakazato, Director of the Okinawa Prefectural Government (OPG) Washington D.C. Office
- Jared Hayes, Environmental Working Group (EWG)'s Senior Policy Analyst
- Megan Russell, Coordinator of CODEPINK’S China is Not Our Enemy Campaign
