Code Pink Local Peace Economy

Our next Local Peace Economy gathering is on Wednesday, July 16th (8 pm ET/5 pm PT). The topic for the evening is on the nature of reciprocity. Reciprocity has been core to the thriving of cultures for millennium.  We have touched on the idea of reciprocity in gatherings before. Genevieve Vaughan shared with us how the war economy made exchanges transactional rather than gift based.

We are fortunate to have Sabrina Meherally joining us for this meeting. She wrote a beautiful article on Medium about “Reciprocity as Relational Responsibility” that describes it as a pivot we must take in order to properly understand reciprocal relationships. She writes, “Reciprocity, in its truest form, isn’t just about payment. It’s about responsibility. It’s about what happens after the conversation ends, after the data is collected, after the story is shared in trust. It’s about what we carry forward and how we live in relation to those who’ve gifted their knowledge.“

Sabrina is the founder of Pause + Effect, where she “supports others to tend to their own becoming as they compost inherited ways of being, and shape-shift toward the futures we long for.” As those interested in cultivating a Local Peace Economy, we are all shape-shifting toward a longed for future as well. Please RSVP here to join us Wednesday as we welcome Sabrina to our gathering for this conversation.

If you missed our conversation last week with Laurel Mellin, we have heard from many of you how helpful the tools are she discussed in moving through the grief and anxiety that is layered on us each day.

As is our habit, we will have breakouts toward the end of the call. Breakouts will not be timed, allowing for extended connections and ample time for conversation.
