                  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.
