The Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) destructive war
games, the largest air, land, and sea 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. RIMPAC 2022
will have over 25,000 military personnel, 38 ships, 170
aircraft, 4 submarines from 26 countries in practice war
simulations engaging "enemy forces." RIMPAC usually takes place
every 2 years and has been going on for more than 50 years. It has involved the bombing and
shelling of the
133,000-acre Military Pohakuloa Toxic Area (PTA) in the center of Hawaii
Island, military targets in Hawaiian waters, and amphibious beach
landings
The massive war drill dramatically contributes to the
destruction of the ecology system, aggravation of the climate
crisis in the Pacific region, and increases the risk of
global nuclear annihilation.
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.
Join the call to Cancel RIMPAC and to establish a demilitarized Pan- Pacific Zone of Peace. Redirect the massive expenditure of funds from war-making to serve humanity suffering from lack of food, water, and other unmet human needs amid a global pandemic, and expanding climate catastrophe.
