ICYMI: The Climate Change Network for Community-based Initiatives enjoins other environmentalist organizations and groups in an indignation mobilization held on April 22, 2026 that called for an end to the US–Israel War Aggressions against Iran.

The broad coalition of environmental defenders, carrying with them their rallying calls, marched towards the US Embassy in order to hold to account the war aggressions that have claimed countless lives and left in its wake immense destruction to the global environment.

The mass mobilization was held in commemoration of Earth Day 2026 and serves as a reminder that now, more than ever, is the time to shed light to false solutions and forward genuine change that is created with the interests and welfare of the people in mind.

We have seen in the past few months the proliferation of false solutions peddled by our government in the form of renewable energy projects whose technologies are crafted from destructive mining that siphons the natural resources of agricultural communities.

Profit-driven interests have also permeated across our legislature with the national government openly prioritizing the creation of destructive waste-to-energy projects at the hands of wealthy conglomerates who are willing to compromise livelihood for profit.

Mining permits from foreign corporations have flooded their corresponding government institutions with each and every single one of them seeking to exploit our natural resources and destroy the livelihoods of our agricultural communities.

Imperialist nations and their war-mongering have left severe destruction at its wake which has released immense amounts of emissions that have pushed our planet even further away from recuperating its wounds from the greed of the global superpowers who debunk the real and present effects of climate change.

As a climate institution that seeks justice for our wounded earth, it is imperative to recognize that a major barricade in the achievement of climate justice is the persistence of US Imperialism and their never-ending interventions in the affairs of sovereign nation-states.

Their campaign of exploitation has bolstered greenhouse gas emissions and has solidified the US Military as the largest institutional emitter in the world generating over 636 million metric tons of CO₂ with their emissions, if they were a country, ranking 47th in the global list of carbon emissions.

Recent efforts to remove climate research studies in relation to national security was also undertaken by the United States Department of Defense whose secretary has been a loud voice for climate denialism and a staunch advocate for the perpetuation of US war mongering.

We call upon our colleagues in the frontlines of environmental defense to denounce the number 1 polluter and war criminal in the international community because it has become increasingly self-evident that there can be no climate justice without holding to account US Imperialism.
