Our growing network – the Network of Concerned Geographers – is pressuring the American Association of Geographers to study and take action on the growing engagement of geography with the US military and intelligence communities. This initiative grew out of a series of meetings in Vancouver, where numerous geographers from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University came together to discuss the risks of an increasingly close relationship between the military and the discipline of geography. Working groups emerged from that meeting and the petition came out of those working groups. For more details see here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/network-of-concerned-geographers
