Invest in Sustainable, Worker-Led Shipbuilding—Not Military Escalation

Target: U.S. Congress, President Joe Biden, Department of Defense
Goal: Urge Congress and the Biden administration to prioritize sustainable shipbuilding, labor rights, and peaceful cooperation over military escalation.
The U.S. is falling behind China in shipbuilding, prompting lawmakers to seek expertise and partnerships with South Korea and Japan. While the need to revitalize American shipyards is clear, the current approach centers on military competition and massive Pentagon budgets. This risks fueling an arms race, diverting resources from domestic needs, and ignoring the concerns of workers and communities most affected by these policies.
We call for a new direction—one that invests in green, union-led shipbuilding, supports local economies, and advances peaceful international cooperation. Instead of pouring billions into military expansion, let’s create good jobs, protect the environment, and build a future based on diplomacy and shared prosperity.
Key Demands
- Redirect shipbuilding investments toward civilian, green, and union-led projects that create good jobs and address climate change.
- Ensure all shipbuilding partnerships and contracts uphold the highest labor standards, including the right to organize and fair wages.
- Prioritize transparency and community input in decisions about shipyard investments and foreign partnerships.
- Commit to peaceful international cooperation and diplomacy, not military escalation, in the Indo-Pacific region.
- Reallocate a significant portion of the proposed $47 billion Pentagon shipbuilding budget to infrastructure, education, and healthcare at home.
