B09 Growing a Local Peace Economy
Room:
CODEPINK
Every transaction we make in our daily lives ultimately contributes toward building a peace or a war economy, a world of compassion and well-being, or a world of indifference and violence. The peace economy model encourages us to shift our values. It calls for creating cultural, social and economic models that cultivate a sense of respect. This session offers the practices and map making needed to build the movement to grow peace. It starts local. “The foundation for world peace is building an economy where every community is self-reliant in basic needs such as food, water and energy.” Judy Wicks, BALLE
