Demilitarization and Climate Justice: Winning a Just Transition to a Peace Economy

Patrick Bigger, Khem Rogaly, Jessie Kelly, and Sumaya Awad speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Climate and Community Institute. Military domination of public resources and capture of US industrial capacity fuels the climate crisis and fundamentally puts full decarbonization – let alone climate justice – out of reach. To confront the drivers of climate breakdown is also to confront the drivers of militarism, perpetual war, and climate apartheid. Join us to discuss pathways, historical examples, and ongoing organizing for a just transition for the military industrial complex and communities harmed by US imperialism, from Palestine to Cop City. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
