The Pentagon has actually been operating in space for decades, so creating a new military branch would not only be a problem with bureaucracy but also it would further destabilize the world and increase tensions.
The idea that the US must dominate space is arrogant, stupid, dangerous, and highly destabilizing to world peace. The Trump and Pence proposal for a Space Force is largely driven by maximum profits for the aerospace industry.
So we’ve now reached this crisis moment where the expansion of warfare into space is being dramatically promoted and there must be an immediate counter-reaction by the peace loving people around the world. And that is exactly what the Global Network has been doing for nearly 3 decades.
Every year, we urge local groups and concerned citizens to help put together protests and educational meetups every year for a week called Keep Space For Peace week. During October 6-13, organizations and individuals all around the globe will hit the streets to help end the militarization and weaponization of space. Each year has a different theme and this year we are focusing on stopping the creation of the new military branch, Space Force.
Help us say NO to SPACE FORCE!
