The U.S.–Japan alliance persists. But communities near Camp Fuji carry the noise, risk, and restrictions while national security rhetoric minimizes those costs. #CloseBases!

The U.S.–Japan alliance persists. But communities near Camp Fuji carry the noise, risk, and restrictions while national security rhetoric minimizes those costs. #CloseBases!
Britain’s overseas bases and surveillance networks—from Cyprus to the Caribbean—are quietly enabling U.S. military operations abroad, entangling the UK in wars with little democratic oversight. buff.ly/NZ0Y2qt #CloseBases
Guantánamo Bay became a global symbol of indefinite detention, torture, and legal loopholes. Built on Cuban land under an unequal 1903 lease, it still operates outside meaningful accountability.
After decades of abuse, it’s time to close the base! buff.ly/PlInl4f #CloseBases
A massive U.S.-linked base in Western Australia helps maintain communication with nuclear-armed submarines across the Indo-Pacific. Facilities like this entangle Australia in U.S. war planning while putting local ecosystems and communities at risk. #CloseBases!
A drone strike near RAF Akrotiri forced evacuations in nearby villages and reignited debate in Cyprus about the risks of hosting foreign military bases. Residents say living beside strategic bases is making civilians targets & many are now demanding their removal. buff.ly/TqD19gi #CloseBases
Did you know? Canada runs 31 domestic bases and foreign “Operational Support Hubs” on four continents, embedding itself in U.S.-led war architecture. #CloseBases. Fund housing, climate action, and Indigenous justice instead.
New photos and testimonies are still coming in from last weekend’s Global Days of Action. From every region, communities spoke with one message: no more foreign bases propping up endless war systems. Shut them down. Choose democracy, sovereignty, and peace. #CloseBases
✊👏 Okinawa joined the Global Days of Action, where communities continue challenging the heavy U.S. military footprint on the island. #CloseBases
From Baltimore to bases worldwide, the message is the same: a global network built for “security” keeps producing war. Communities pay the cost while institutions expand. #CloseBases
In Palo Alto, WILPF US brought the message to the farmers' market: 900 U.S. bases costing $80 billion a year sustain a global war system. That’s public money diverted from healthcare and food support! #CloseBases
#CloseBases Global Days of Action reached Garramilla (Darwin), where activists challenged the expanding U.S. military footprint in northern Australia. ✊
In Vilnius, women from WBW affiliate Our House rallied against Russian military bases in Belarus as part of the Global Days of Action. Foreign bases turn territories into frontlines & hardwire escalation into politics. Civilian security requires demilitarization, not permanent garrisons. #CloseBases

#CloseBases Global Days of Action in Bergen: 👏 demonstrators rallied against the 12 U.S. bases operating in Norway!
#CloseBases Global Days of Action reached New York City, where Pax Christi NYS and allies held vigil outside the Times Square Recruiting Center. Recruitment feeds the base system; bases feed war. Peace requires interrupting the pipeline at every level!

#CloseBases Global Days of Action continue: this time in Tokyo, where allies held a Standing and Singing protest in front of the Prime Minister’s Official Residence. U.S. bases in Japan lock the region into militarized alignment. Security requires demilitarization, not deeper entanglement.
The #CloseBases Global Days of Action are underway! Here’s one of many actions happening worldwide this weekend. Activists held a watch at Clay Barracks in Wiesbaden, Germany, confronting a key U.S. base node.
Foreign bases institutionalize war planning. Real security means dismantling them!

Today the Global Days of Action to #CloseBases begin. From $80B a year in overseas base costs to PFAS-contaminated water and displaced communities, the toll is undeniable. Organize, educate, mobilize: it's time to shift resources from permanent war to human needs!
TOMORROW, the Global Days of Action to #CloseBases begin. From $80B in overseas base costs to documented PFAS contamination and harm to local communities, the toll is real. Organize, rally, educate. Feb 21–23—be part of it! buff.ly/CDIaVkR

🚨 We don’t need a 5,000-person military base in Gaza—ringed with watchtowers and barbed wire—we need an end to occupation, displacement, and permanent militarization. Invest in civilian protection, reconstruction, and self-determination. Peace isn’t built from bunkers. t.co/5gKfO2ijsu #CloseBases
