Local Peace Economy

What will it take to end the violence and suffering in our world? War, poverty, police brutality, ecological degradation, and nearly every other issue we face are connected by the same root cause. Trace our country’s history back, and see that our entire economy was founded on waging genocide on Indigenous peoples, enslaving African peoples, and violently extracting resources from the earth to accumulate wealth and power into the hands of a few.

To end violence and create the beautiful world that we so long to live in, we must radically reimagine and transform our relationships so they are defined by love, and compassion. This is how we transform our war economy into a peace economy. Growing local peace economies is a revolution of values and practices.
