Hi John,

The climate crisis is a threat multiplier; whether we’re talking about racial justice, migrant rights, or war, the stakes become unparalleled when also set against the backdrop of an intensifying climate crisis.

Oppressed people across the globe are impacted by the US Government's moral failures at not only ignoring the crisis but also digging its heels into protecting the systems that maintain the disastrous extractive fossil fuel economy.

This fall, Power Shift Network is launching a series of conversations to deepen the climate movement’s collective analysis about the US Government’s role in upholding imperialist mentalities and protecting its interests by ignoring the climate crisis in the name of profit and hoarding power for the few, to the peril of the rest of us.

When we understand the connections between our struggles, and we are prepared to authentically show up in solidarity, our movements build power.

In this series, we will explore the US Government’s involvement and unregulated support of militarism, immigration, and white nationalism. Please join us for the first conversation, which will focus on the bloated military budget, the US war machine, and how it impedes us from working towards climate justice:
