We hope you will consider joining us for the Anti-Imperialist Campaign Series as it focuses on the Local Peace Economy for two weeks in December. We’ll explore how to resist the war machine, right where we live, with alternatives and pivots in our mindset.
We won’t stop the wars and build lasting peace until we dismantle the war economy. Alongside spotlighting the violence and duplicity of our policy makers in Congress, we must also be cultivating systems of peace, divesting ourselves from war economy culture and practicing habits that lead to peace.
These two weeks in December, the Anti-Imperialist Campaign Series will give you practical tools to take your next steps, creating a Peace Economy locally with your neighbors and community. Join us in cultivating a future rooted in care, cooperation, and community.
