Through our decades of anti-war organizing, we learned something important: we’re not going to end war until we end the war economy. War serves the war economy. As we protest, scratch at the halls of power, and expose the violence of the U.S. war machine, we must also be creating the world we want to live in. We can do that by cultivating the local peace economy in our communities.
CODEPINK is here to support you on your local peace economy journey. We’ve created several tools you can use as you take back your life from the war economy. The peace economy website and The Local Peace Economy Workbook are great places to start and are meant to be used together.
Below you’ll find several other resources, including our bi-weekly Local Peace Economy Community Calls and Local Peace Economy webinars. If you have questions about any of these resources or need support growing a local peace economy project in your community, please reach out to us at [email protected] — we’re here to help!
