Upcoming Events
FILM SCREENING: Earth's Greatest Enemy
Join us for a screening of "Earth's Greatest Enemy", a documentary exposé of the world's biggest - and most unaccountable - polluter: the U.S. military.
Exempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinized in mainstream reporting, the Pentagon is the world's single largest institutional polluter - spewing carbon, contaminating water, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Combining investigative journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences. Provocative, urgent, and eye-opening, this is a documentary that will change how you see both the military and environmentalism.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director, Abby Martin, who will join virtually!
WEBINAR: Military Costs
On Feb 24th from 6-7:30pm the Sound Defense Alliance will be hosting an online webinar to discuss financial costs of the U.S. military. Panelists from Seattle Against War, Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility, and NW Against Nuclear Weapons Coalition will share valuable information from each of their organizations and provide resources for action.
Please register to get the webinar Zoom link and encourage others to attend and learn about our military's spending:
Last year, the U.S. military spent an estimated $997 BILLION on defense. Meanwhile, funding for our essential services is being cut, the national cost of living continues to rise, and people across the country are struggling to find work to support themselves and their families. Military spending has become excessive and our communities are facing the consequences.
Throughout the entirety of this month, we will be utilizing our online platforms to provide public education around various costs of the U.S. military - including the Growler jets, of course.
Be sure to follow us on social media to see our educational posts and ways to get involved!
Restoring the Quiet Within
Are you affected by jet noise pollution from the Navy's Growlers? Please join us in Coupeville for a no-cost community gathering with Healing Circles Langley. The purpose of this gathering is to offer a restorative space where community members impacted by jet noise can reconnect to inner calm, share their lived experiences in a safe and respectful way, and nourish their well-being through self-regulation, conversation, and soundbath.
Community Sharing Event
On August 20th from 6:30-8pm, we will be holding an online facilitated Community Sharing Event for you to talk about your experiences with the recent jet noise. This will be a space for you to discuss how you have been impacted and hear from others in different areas. Unlike our Listening Sessions, this event will be held in a more open format, where you will have more conversational opportunities. You are also welcome to just listen in!
