June 17: Building Resistance By Cultivating Community

Monday June 17 @ 8PM ET

TOPIC: Building Resistance By Cultivating Community

Course Description and Key Takeaways: This week's lesson is all about the local peace economy! We saw the power of the local peace economy at the student encampments - all the mutual aid, skillsharing, art spaces, medical tents, and the many other ways people kept each other safe and well while there. These are real skills rooted in ways of being fostered in the local peace economy. Come learn how to take your power back from the war economy by cultivating community as an act of resistance at Gaza Summer School!
