Local is Global  The media is driving fear and lies for a Cold War against China; it is already contributing to racist attacks on Asians locally.  Tell the New York Times and Washington Post to stop hate towards China.     ACT NOW!

Dear John,

The time is now, it cannot be any clearer! The war economy has failed everyone and the Planet. Knowing this, we can only turn our time, attention and love towards the future and cultivating a peace economy.  

Thank you for being part of the local peace economy community at CODEPINK. No matter what befalls us locally, Covid, Fires, Floods or #Proudboys, the fabric of connection we build in cultivating our local peace economies strengthens our capacity to weather the storms, stay connected, relational and resilient.

We have a new website at CODEPINK - check out the Local Peace Economy section and let us know if you are ready to engage locally! We are here to help you divest from the war economy and instead invest your life, time and talent in creating the future of peace, justice and love.

Join the conversation with Winona LaDuke and Leah Penniman this week to be inspired by their work locally and the visions they work from, they are changing the world.

This week is the 2  month anniversary of the first explosion in Beirut.  We had already been supporting Local Peace Economy projects there. They realized after their uprising last year that the fabric of their society was being dismantled and destroyed by their government.  We continue to send love to Beirut. 

More inspiration to Cultivate Your Local Peace Economy: Naomi Klein and Leap have created another message from the future, the path is laid it is ours to walk. Listen To The Future.  

Nourishment in the News! April Short writes a few pieces each week on local peace economies - here are her latest to expand your thinking about what engagement can look like.
