Calling all STEM workers and students:
We pledge not to work for any military.
We demand funds be diverted toward science for the social good.
This is a strike!

In truly beautiful news, all of Central America has now ratified the Treaty on Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

...a glimmer of the peaceful world we may step into

[STEM Strikes for Peace @Stem4Peace]

"...to eliminate every single nuclear weapon from the face of the earth forever"

122 countries have signed the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

We ask that the U.S. government signs the treaty.

We would like you to imagine that scientists and engineers refuse to develop/build/maintain/deploy any more Stinger missiles, tanks, etc. and how much this would de-escalate conflicts like the one we are seeing in Ukraine

without having to ask politicians for a damn thing.

The culture of disregard for Asian lives in the U.S.A. manifests both as senseless wars on Vietnam, Korea, and Japan AND a white domestic terrorist's actions in Atlanta today.

We are all called to root out racism, both in our own hearts and through political organizing.

Today's news is painful. Northrop G. is building...

-$100 Billion of nuclear weaponry.
-One missile 20x as powerful as the bomb on Hiroshima.
-600 of these missiles.

How can we comprehend such evil?
What wound is driving this insane behavior?

"Imagine what we could do, create, and research if STEM people were given that money directly without strings attached from the military?"

A great take on STEM Strikes for Peace from @SariNotSorry_00

I’m spending all my free time these days meditating or studying physics.

These are two mountains I can climb that I’ll probably never reach the tops of, but the view gets better and better the higher I go.

"We have acted in a deliberate manner that aims to de-escalate the overall situation in both eastern Syria and Iraq"
-Biden administration explanation of recent U.S. air strikes on Syria.

Bombing is De-escalation, in other words, War is Peace.

Very Orwellian.
