Disarming Earth Day: Nuclearization, Mining, & Creating Peace

Join us for the third teach-in of our series leading up to Earth Day 2025. This month, we plan to highlight the impact of U.S. war, militarism, and imperialism on people and the planet. This third teach-in will cover all aspects of nuclear build up and its cost on the planet and people of the world: the mining process of uranium, the reasons for nuclear build-up, the warmaking and genocide that possessing nuclear weapons creates, and the devastating results of the usage of these weapons of mass destruction. We will also cover steps that can be taken to move the hand of the doomsday clock toward peace.

In order to combat the climate crisis, we need to confront US militarism and imperialism. The U.S. military is the #1 institutional polluter in the world, with over 800 poisonous bases around the world, consistently building up pointless escalation and presence in every hemisphere. In moments of crisis at every level, we need to center our movements toward common targets and our collective futures.
