Dear John, Our next LPE meeting on Wednesday, October 8th, we would like you to share stories about organizations you work with and admire that are doing the work of peace on the ground in your communities. What do you see they are doing that inspires you for a future of peace and justice? We will also ask what stories do you need to hear in these turbulent times? What is missing in the story you are living? We are here for each other to weave a more peaceful and beautiful future - what have you witnessed that is still needed in the unfolding? We hope you will join us for this interactive and engaging conversation. For those of your who joined to hear from our LPE interns, you discovered the "behind the scenes" work that we do every day to celebrate and uplift the work of organizations and people doing Peace Economy work for their communities. We understand that you are doing this work as well which is why we want to spend this week sharing stories of your successes and inspiration for work in your local communities.
If you missed it, you can listen to our last LPE Meeting, which featured the co-Founders of Art.Coop, Nati Linares and Carolyn Woodard. In this gathering, we spoke with them about the intersection between creativity, culture, and community building. Art.coop is a network of artists and groups who use creative way to support and explore the Local Peace Economy. Not content with just accepting the underfunded and under-supported environment for artists, these visionaries looked at what their community needed and built a resource to care for artists and creatives. Learn from their stories and examples, and take inspiration for action you might take in your own communities.
Want to take action this week? Sports boycotts
have the power to further isolate Israel as a pariah on the world
stage. Imagine the added pressure of having the Israeli soccer team
boycotted by international sports bodies like International Federation
of Association Football (FIFA) and the Union of European Football
Associations (UEFA).That’s exactly what Game Over
Israel! is attempting to do and why CODEPINK has
endorsed the campaign! Sign this
pledge to support a boycott
of the Israeli soccer team from international sports and
federations.
