Hello, everyone.
Let me start off by pointing you in the direction of our new Bluesky page [ [link removed] ]. As many have, we’ve jumped on this latest bandwagon. If you’re willing to do a kindness, follow us there and help us get the word out about our latest work.
Since Israel ramped up its war in Lebanon in recent months, the violence has displaced more than a million people across the Mediterranean country. For the already vulnerable Sudanese population, Madeline Edwards reports [ [link removed] ], it has been a struggle to find space in Lebanon’s crowded shelters.
Halfway across the world, it is more than a matter of happenstance that a new peace institute in Utah is operating in the same region where weapons of mass destruction are made. In a new dispatch [ [link removed] ], Inkstick’s Taylor Barnes tells the story behind the Heravi Peace Institute and breaks downs its roots in a US-Iran exchange program decades ago.

“A New Peacebuilding Institute in Utah’s Missile-Making Lands [ [link removed] ]” by Taylor Barnes (Nov. 13)
The new Heravi Peace Institute at the land-grant Utah State University has its origins in Iran-Utah ties that predate the nuclear era and nearby ICBM plant. That weapons of mass destruction and a peacebuilding institute of mass instruction ended up cohabitating on the northern side of the Great Salt Lake is, in its origins, a story about place and what different people saw when they saw that vast arid terrain.
