DESCRIPTION:"War is Literally Killing the Planet". The war economy is brought to you by 
 these players: Speaker Nancy Pelosi, BlackRock Worldwide Investments, 
 Lockheed Martin, and Chevron, and you and I bought front row seats. We're 
 funding it. \n\nWith our votes and taxes, we are enabling the destruction 
 of life on earth. We need a peace economy to replace this suicidal 
 situation.\nWe are angry that these players profited handsomely from the 
 20-year war in Afghanistan. We are grieving that they are destroying the 
 planet worldwide. We are outraged that they are siphoning over 50% of the 
 U.S. federal budget for continuing wars, while people all over the planet 
 are suffering from the climate emergency, pandemic, going hungry, seeing 
 their clean water and air destroyed by wars, resource extraction and fossil 
 fuel emissions, and fearing the future for their children and all 
 beings.\n\nThe war economy supplies huge short-term profits to these war 
 profiteers and we are calling them out! \n\nSpeaker Nancy Pelosi's majority 
 in Congress siphons over 50% of our federal budget to fund the skyrocketing 
 costs of war and Pentagon operations with their huge greenhouse gas 
 emissions. Pelosi insists on spending our money on continual wars and 
 refuses to support Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, affordable housing, 
 education, elder and child care, clean water, air, and food -- the things 
 that give life and peace a chance. \n\nBlackRock is making a killing on 
 killing with its investments in the war economy and planet destroying 
 fossil fuel and nuclear industries, earning a handsome profit for its 
 investors (https://blackrocksbigproblem.com/the-problems/).\n\nLockheed 
 buys Congress with it's generous campaign contributions, acting as the U.S. 
 State Dept. and Pentagon's master, weaponizing space and urging a war on 
 China, and selling weapons to human rights violators like the Israeli 
 government and the Saudis -- who beheaded a journalist, attacked the World 
 Trade Center, and bombed a school bus in Yemen killing 40 children with a 
 500 pound Lockheed bomb. The Saudis are U.S. allies, thanks to Lockheed, 
 Pelosi, Chevron and BlackRock.\n\nChevron sits on Lockheed's Board of 
 Directors and is a major Pentagon contractor, supplying fossil fuels for 
 the military's immense greenhouse gas emissions. Chevron's short term 
 thirst for profits, polluting, pillaging and extracting fossil fuels, aided 
 by militarized police forces and private armies, is adding to the planet's 
 death spiral. Chevron is a criminal enterprise.\n\nWe are "connecting the 
 dots" to show that divesting from the war economy -- represented by Pelosi, 
 the Pentagon, BlackRock, Lockheed and Chevron--  and investing instead in 
 the peace economy we deserve, is the way out of this tragic situation.   
 \n\nFor International Day of Peace, CODEPINK and allies are going to expose 
 the war financiers, war profiteers, and war climate destroyers and call for 
 funding a peace economy instead. \n\nPhoto of shoes: Leon Kunstenaar / Pro
