Growing A Local Peace Economy Daily #134


Jameslawson.jpg

I say we must have a movement that brings those troops home and launch a crusade to transform our school buildings, we launch a crusade to see to it that every citizen has adequate and affordable housing, we launch a crusade to make universal health care. We need not soldiers anymore in the world. We've had enough of them in western history.” - - Rev. James M. Lawson, Jr

Daily Practice: Growing your local peace economy is to make real and concrete what we need instead of soldiers and war. Since the Iraq and Afghanistan wars not only have the Western nations destroyed many countries; but the cost of those wars and the lacking value of human life destroyed our own communities. Turning our values towards our communities to create the building blocks to peace is our work. What are you building with your energies today?

A sense of urgency
What did you build?
