* Speakers * Videos * Discussion * 

Our world today faces two major crises: Imperialist wars and occupations, andthe climate crisis. While they are often discussed as two separate issues, theperpetrators are the same. Wars and occupations carried out by the UnitedStates and their allies, including the government of Canada, and the over 800U.S. mililtary bases around the world deserve the attention of climateactivists and antiwar activists alike. 

Join MAWO and our speakers to discuss:
- What environmental impacts have imperialist wars, occupations and militaryhad on people and the environment around the world?
- How does the government of Canada measure up as a military polluter?
- How can the antiwar movement and the climate justice movement work togetherto build a more united and stronger movement to end wars, occupations and theclimate crisis?
