The COP29 climate summit concluded over the weekend with a new global target for international climate finance. The U.S. must rebalance foreign aid priorities to fund life and the well-being of our planet, not war. We won't stop.

With big publicity around efforts to cut government spending, we’ll find out whether the incoming administration and Congress are willing to hold the Pentagon accountable. 

Last month, people across the southeastern U.S. lost their homes, communities, and lives to the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene. To protect our shared future, decarbonization and demilitarization must go hand-in-hand. 

Colonial violence and militarism are at the root of global inequality, ecological devastation, and perpetual conflict that is driving the triple planetary crisis.

The effort to produce plutonium pits is racking up to be a costly endeavor, straining an already military-heavy federal budget– for something we don’t need or want.  

The U.S. military is getting out of hand in fueling wars abroad–even the ones that haven’t begun.

Addressing police violence in our communities requires reckoning with America’s militarized foreign policy that leads to wars abroad and at home.

On the afternoon of March 28, 2024, an F35-B Lightning II fighter jet crashed into a hillside in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The nearly brand-new aircraft, demolished and ablaze, was previously worth roughly $109 million. Like many New Mexicans, the costly damage made me wonder, what else could that money have gone to? 

Globally, 2023 proved to be a record breaking year for military spending. 

It’s Earth Day today, and the U.S. and the world seem determined to ignore the climate crisis and instead invest in war. That’s a huge mistake.
