Get the word out

The Blue Mountains Peace Collective is focussed on getting the word out using all the connections we can, including you, through our communities. We have this website and you can find us on facebook. We're developing our social media presence as we go along.

We've held and been involved in some public events, meetings, protests, discussions, and issued leaflets. We are publishing brochures and facts sheets. We organise to get banners and signs for display at events and in high profile locations to raise issues. We plan film screenings soon.

Your support and involvement can build the movement for Peace and Justice deep among our community. Join us at www.bluemountainspeacecollective.net/

We also join with national and other organisations in campaigns, zooms and podcasts, distributing their booklets and pamphlets, and other resources.

Campaign for an Independent & Peaceful Australia

Its needed now like never before. We have;

• The AUKUS pact to spend $368 billion joining the US in a regional arms race,

• militarization of Northern Australia,

• increasing tensions between nuclear armed powers and the existential danger of nuclear annihilation,

• echoes of past roads to war trailing along with the US against its rivals, all nuclear-armed,

• the Australian government’s going all in with the US while they step away from signing the UN Nuclear Weapons ban treaty.

Climate action is being dumped.

Great powers are in a new cycle of competing and manoeuvring to subdue their competitors, arming themselves for war, coaxing neutral nations to pick sides and undermining their rivals’ economies.

War preparations trump action to save our planet. War always includes war on nature.

The urgency of the threats was marked by the Bulltien of Atomic Scientists when they move the Doomsday clock to its highest level since it was first set in 1947. It marks the extreme vulnerability of the world to man-made global catastrophe, threats of planet boiling and nuclear warfare.

It demands we do much more to secure the future.

STOP AUKUS - Build support to halt AUKUS

The behind closed-door commitment of Australia to a trilateral security agreement with the United Kingdom, and the United States (AUKUS) and a submarine fleet shows a complete disregard for the democratic process and undermines sovereignty.

It is shocking that the decision to build nuclear-powered submarines and expand U.S. troops, planes, warships, bombers and armoury stationed in Australian territory was made in secret without any public consultation or parliamentary debate.

A nuclear-powered submarine fleet will represent a fundamental threat to the environment and global peace. These submarines will put nuclear reactors in the ports of Australia, encourage the proliferation of nuclear weapons and are potential sites for nuclear accidents.
