Dear John,

We've been spending 2024 learning all about local peace economies together, and we're so grateful to be on this journey with you. We've loved hearing how you are cultivating local peace economies in your communities - from growing and sharing food, to hosting skill shares and clothing swaps, to mutual aid and so much more.

If you've missed any of our bi-weekly Local Peace Economy Community Calls, you can catch up on the recordings here. Our next call is Wednesday, April 24th at 8pm ET. RSVP here! We hope to see you there!

We also have a special local peace economy event for you! Join us tomorrow, Thursday, April 11th at 12:00 ET/9:00 PT  as CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans presents at Transitioning to a Peace Economy: Pathways and Perspectives.

Organized by the Peace Economy Project, this webinar is a call to explore and understand the transformative journey towards a global economy that prioritizes peace over militarization, sustainability over exploitation, and justice over inequality. It's an opportunity for us to come together, learn, and discuss practical steps and strategies that can guide individuals, communities, and nations in this crucial transition.

This webinar will explore:

• The foundational principles of a peace economy
• Strategies for transitioning towards a peaceful, equitable, and sustainable economic model
• The role of advocacy, activism, and legislative change in this transition
• Inspirational examples and success stories from around the globe
