The War Economy is the ocean we swim in, and we are fish. Water is all we know. But what if there is a whole other way? What if we can transition to a world of peace? Tell me, what impossible thing have. you done in your life?

Practicing compassion for others is the basis for practicing peace. Community connection and action is where peace begins. What can you do today to bring peace to those around you?

Community is a verb, synonymous with "service." Your neighbors have burdens, see and unseen. How can you engage with their needs and been in service to uplifting those around you?

Community is not a state of being, but rather an action rooted in small choices every day to serve others, even when inconvenient. What one small thing can you do today to build the networks that uphold you?#localpeaceeconomy #community #homesweethome

Opting out of the meta-crisis isn't the way forward. We have a responsibility to our community to see ourselves through the lens of radical belonging and responsibility. How might you own PEACE where you stand?

We need creativity and "radical imagination" to find a way out of the meta-crisis swirling around us. We have the right to PEACE! But to build peace, we need to be able to imagine it.#localpeaceeconomy #community #homesweethome
