Here's one started by Colonel Ann
Wright (Ret.):
What's the biggest, most reckless
thing to be done on water?
It's RIMPAC, the Rim of
the Pacific naval war rehearsal. RIMPAC dramatically
contributes to the destruction of the ecology and aggravates
climate collapse in the Pacific region. RIMPAC war forces will
blow up decommissioned ships with missiles, endangering marine
mammals and polluting the ocean. Land forces will conduct
ground assaults that will tear up beaches where green sea
turtles breed. And RIMPAC will fuel massive expenditures on
weapons and increased militarization, making wars more
likely.
2022 RIMPAC includes military forces from
Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador,
France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia,
Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, the Republic of Korea,
the Republic of the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka,
Thailand, Tonga, the United Kingdom, and the United
States.
Please
sign a petition that we can deliver to those
governments.

The Pacific Peace Network and its allied
organizations call for the cancellation of the dangerous,
provocative and destructive international Rim of the Pacific
(RIMPAC) naval war practice and for increased citizen pressure
for a demilitarized Pan-Pacific Zone of
Peace.
RIMPAC naval war practice, the largest naval
war maneuvers in the world, will take place off Hawai’i and
the West Coast of the U.S. from June 29 to August 4, 2022. At
RIMPAC 2022, over 25,000 military personnel, 38 ships, 170
aircraft, 4 submarines from 26 countries will practice war
simulations engaging "enemy forces."
RIMPAC, coupled
with expanding U.S. military capability in Hawai’i, Australia,
Guahan and other Pacific nations, increases the likelihood
of armed conflict between the United States and China --
either by design or accident -- with unthinkable consequences
for the peoples of Asia, the Pacific, and the world.
Please
endorse this call to action. Pacific Peace Network will share
this petition and call on legislators of each participating
country to cancel RIMPAC. Click here to add your
name.
