CODEPINK Local Peace Economy

To dismantle the war economy and grow local peace economies ❣️☮️ 🌿

[CODEPINK Local Peace Economy @PeaceEcon]

When we are afraid, we tend to look to others for strength. This tendency has been weaponized by the War Economy, and many people on every side of the political spectrum have stepped away from agency. Join us tomorrow as we discuss what fear robs from us, what courage looks like.

The War Economy is the ocean we swim in, and we are fish. Water is all we know. But what if there is a whole other way? What if we can transition to a world of peace? Tell me, what impossible thing have. you done in your life?

[CODEPINK Local Peace Economy @PeaceEcon]

Do you want to dream of impossible things? Join us tonight for the Local Peace Economy gathering to hold space for the possibility of change in a world on fire. It might feel very far away, but we humans have been doing impossible things for a very long time. #localpeaceeconomy

It is tempting to say at this critical moment, "Change is impossible!" But humans have been doing impossible things for millennia. The next Local Peace Economy Gathering is tomorrow, 5/27 Ask yourself "What impossible things might be possible after all?"

Tonight our Local Peace Economy Gathering will explore the relationship between actions and impact. What if your impact on others and the world doesn't happen the way you think it does? What if small actions make big ripples?

Join us tomorrow for the next Local Peace Economy Gathering. In this conversation, we will explore the relationship between our actions and our impact on the world. What if one's impact on others and the world doesn't happen the way we think it does?

Practicing compassion for others is the basis for practicing peace. Community connection and action is where peace begins. What can you do today to bring peace to those around you?

[CODEPINK Local Peace Economy @PeaceEcon]

Community is a verb, synonymous with "service." Your neighbors have burdens, see and unseen. How can you engage with their needs and been in service to uplifting those around you?

[CODEPINK Local Peace Economy @PeaceEcon]

Community is not a state of being, but rather an action rooted in small choices every day to serve others, even when inconvenient. What one small thing can you do today to build the networks that uphold you?#localpeaceeconomy #community #homesweethome

We have a new Substack essay available on Cultivating A Local Peace Economy. Where do you turn when you are feeling helpless or vulnerable while watching the systems unravel around us? Mr. Rogers had the best answer -- look to the helpers. #localpeaceeconomy #community

Opting out of the meta-crisis isn't the way forward. We have a responsibility to our community to see ourselves through the lens of radical belonging and responsibility. How might you own PEACE where you stand?

[CODEPINK Local Peace Economy @PeaceEcon]

We need creativity and "radical imagination" to find a way out of the meta-crisis swirling around us. We have the right to PEACE! But to build peace, we need to be able to imagine it.#localpeaceeconomy #community #homesweethome
