Blue Earth Defense is a network of grassroots advocates, communities, and movements committed to defending life on Earth from the threats of extractivism, greenwashing, and systemic inequality.
BED envisions a world rooted in autonomy, mutual aid, cooperation, solidarity, and direct action—where people and nature coexist in balance, and where communities chart their own paths toward resilience and sustainability.
The Official Launch of Blue Earth Defense (BED) marks a milestone in building a united, global front for ecological and social justice.
With the theme “Building Global Solidarity for Earth Defense,” this launch celebrates the birth of a global platform that uplifts community-led environmental struggles and strengthens alliances across borders.
Date: December 7, 2025
Time: 9am – 11am (Manila Time)
Venue: Online (Global Event)
The event will:
Officially introduce Blue Earth Defense (BED) as a solidarity network.
Present BED’s vision, mission, and ongoing campaigns.
Highlight partner organizations and allies advancing ecological and social transformation.
Open a space for global dialogue and collaboration toward joint environmental actions.
Serve as a fundraising event to support BED’s grassroots initiatives, campaigns, and capacity-building programs.
This global launch will also feature speakers from different regions sharing real stories of resistance and hope:
Some of the speakers are from the Philippines. Advocates will share the ongoing struggles against destructive mining operations and the fight to defend Manila Bay from seabed quarrying and reclamation.
From Canada, environmental defenders will speak about their efforts to halt deep-sea mining and protect fragile ocean ecosystems.
Allied networks from around the world will share their work in building communities of resistance, degrowth, and reimagining economies grounded in care, cooperation, and ecological balance.
Your participation and contribution will help strengthen our shared movement for ecological justice, fuelling community-led projects, advocacy efforts, and global solidarity campaigns that defend life in all its forms.
The event will be livestreamed on the Blue Earth Defense facebook page. It will be recorded, and the recording will be available to view as soon as the event ends.
