Dear John, For our next LPE meeting on Wednesday, November 5th, we are excited to welcome the poet Drew Dellinger, who's poetry touches on justice, ecology, and cosmology. He is a deeply compassionate and inspiring voice in the times we find ourselves in. The war economy distances us from the joy and pleasure of a creative life, creating a cycle of dissatisfaction and emptiness that we often fill with consumption. Creativity and culture is the mesh that weaves together community. We are honored that Drew has agreed to join us for this hour together. We hope you will join us for this engaging and informative conversation.
For those of your who joined our last LPE Meeting, we were grateful to all those gathered to hear Krista Wyatt, the Director of TimeBanks.Org explain timebanking and answer questions about its applicability in times of crisis. We thank her for her time with us and her dedicated work on this beautiful mutual aid tool. We encourage everyone to explore whether there is a timebank in their local community and to participate in offering and receiving gifts of service, if at all possible.
Want to take action
this week? The United States is once again
edging toward war in Latin America, and Admiral Alvin Holsey may be
one of the few people who can stop it. As the head of U.S.
Southern Command, he’s witnessed firsthand the growing militarization
of the Caribbean: troops sent to Puerto Rico, warships off Venezuela’s
coast, CIA authorizations for land strikes. Now that reports say he’s
stepping down, this is the moment to call on him to speak out. Sign this petition urging
Admiral Holsey to use his conscience to tell the truth before another
war begins.
A reminder! CODEPINK has an online store where you can buy all sorts of shirts, stickers, posters, and so much more (!). Encourage peace and help support the work we do at the same time. UPCOMING Local Peace Economy Gatherings:

We hope to see you this Wednesday, November 5th!
