Petitions work. Here's a list of successes. We encourage you to start your own petition here, let us help promote it, and you can do your part by signing petitions created by others. The following petition provides an example of what you might do yourself, and it deserves your consideration. To: Legislators in Australia, United States, United Kingdom and Talisman Sabre participating countries CANCEL TALISMAN SABRE AND AUKUS! We call for the massive 30,000-person military land exercises in Australia planned from July 22 through August 4, 2023 to be terminated, and the recently signed Australia, United Kingdom, and United States Alliance (AUKUS) be cancelled, as they are provocative war preparations against China. Please click to add your name! To challenge Talisman Sabre and AUKUS, several Pacific region organizations including Pacific Peace Network and Independent and Peaceful Australia will be having a "Call for Peace in the Pacific" conference on July 29 in Brisbane with speakers from across the Pacific, followed by educational events in Sydney, Canberra and Darwin. The conference will be preceded by two webinars in July with speakers on the militarization of the Pacific and Talisman Sabre and AUKUS for those unable to come to Australia for the conference. The aim of these events is to raise awareness within Australia and the Pacific region of the full impacts of allowing the U.S. to base its forces and materiel on the lands, by sharing the experiences of Pacific People including: - Complicity in wars of aggression
- Becoming a target in the event of war
- Loss of sovereignty
- First people’s lands disregarded damaged and disrespected
- Environmental damage
- Economic drain
- Sidelining of national legal system
- Impacts on women and girls
